February 5 Are You Ready To Be Poured Out As an Offering? (1)<\/p>\n
If I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all\u2014Philippians 2:17
\nAre you willing to sacrifice yourself for the work of another believer\u2014to pour out your life sacrificially for the ministry and faith of others? Or do you say, \u201cI am not willing to be poured out right now, and I don\u2019t want God to tell me how to serve Him. I want to choose the place of my own sacrifice. And I want to have certain people watching me and saying, \u2019Well done.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
It is one thing to follow God\u2019s way of service if you are regarded as a hero, but quite another thing if the road marked out for you by God requires becoming a \u201cdoormat\u201d under other people\u2019s feet. God\u2019s purpose may be to teach you to say, \u201cI know how to be abased . . .\u201d (Philippians 4:12). Are you ready to be sacrificed like that? Are you ready to be less than a mere drop in the bucket\u2014to be so totally insignificant that no one remembers you even if they think of those you served? Are you willing to give and be poured out until you are used up and exhausted\u2014not seeking to be ministered to, but to minister? Some saints cannot do menial work while maintaining a saintly attitude, because they feel such service is beneath their dignity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
