Scripture: John (NIV) 12:26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

Observation: What great benefits there are in serving Jesus! First, as I follow Him, I am where the action is taking place. Instead of reading about it, I can write about it. Instead of hearing what others say, I have something myself to say! Second, I have the greatest traveling Companion! I am never abandoned! I am never out of resources! Circumstances may be more than I can handle, but they are never more than He can handle! Third, I am honored by Jesus’ Father!

Application: As a servant, I must listen and obey.

Prayer: Jesus, you are my Lord and I am your servant. I want my life to bring you much joy. I want you to find me a faithful and trustworthy servant. Amen
