What Does It Look Like To Be A Called-Out Saint?

To be used of God looks much different that what most would expect. It is not having large crowds as with some of the mega-churches. It is not to be a compelling speaker. Doing the work of Christ is work that involves you doing the work and Christ getting the credit. A mother is a good example. The mother dresses her child properly and teaches them from home. When they go into the world, people look and say "Look at this one. They sure have their act together." It was the mother who taught, prepared, and sent her child out, but it wasn't she that people complimented, it was her child. In the same way, the laborer for Christ does His work so that others may say "Look what Christ has done for us." We are not intended to be the ones who are up front and recognized. Even the Holy Spirit seeks no glory of His own, even though He is God, but instead leads others to the Father and to the Son.

Daily Prayer: Lord, let us be wise enough not to commit the sin of Satan wanting to be like the Most High. Instead, let our labor be effective, but to bring others not to ourself, but to Christ. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
