The Apostle Paul said he was being poured out as a drink offering... What did he mean by that? What he meant was that he would, with joy, give up all rights to himself for the benefit of another. Suppose nobody remembers your good works once you are gone?
Jesus remembers. You see, our ultimate goal is for His honor and glory and not our own. How can the bride groom steal the show? If your mother asks you to turn water into wine and you have the power to do so, then do so obediently and quietly. Of course I am referring to Jesus' miracle in Cana, but if someone asks to to take out the trash and to clean the fellowship hall, do so obediently and submissively. This is our example.
Daily Prayer. Father, you know how we are inclined to puff up ourself and not Your Son. Forgive us Father. We say with our lips "It's all about You" but our hearts are fond of approval. Let us be like the Apostle and to seek submissive service "with joy." In Jesus' name I pray Amen.
