Daily Devotions

Saints are people who “Walk the Path of Service” or as Paul writes to the Galatians 5:13, “My friends, you were chosen to be free. So don't use your freedom as an excuse to do anything you want. Use it as an opportunity to serve each other with love.” 

Life is a journey. And as we walk through it, we are given countless opportunities to help others along the way. Sometimes, it's easy to get caught up in our own goals, struggles, and desires. But God calls us to something greater—to walk beside others, to serve, and to make a difference in their lives, no matter how small the act.

In the Bible, Jesus is the ultimate example of someone who continually helped others along His way. Whether it was healing the sick, comforting the grieving, or teaching the lost, He was always mindful of those in need. He didn’t wait for a grand moment or an official invitation to serve; His life was a constant outpouring of help and love.

In Galatians 5:13, Paul reminds us that we are called to serve one another in love. This is not just an occasional act of kindness, but a lifestyle. It’s about being aware of the people around us—seeing their needs, their hurts, their hopes—and stepping in with a heart of service.

Helping others doesn’t always mean doing something extraordinary. Sometimes it’s as simple as a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand. It could be as small as offering to pray for someone or sharing a meal with someone who’s struggling. Even the smallest gestures can carry a profound impact when done in the name of Christ.

Reflection Question:

Who is God calling me to help today? What small act of kindness can you do to serve someone along your journey?

Father,
Thank You for the example of Jesus, who served with a heart full of love and compassion. Help me to follow His lead, always looking for ways to help others along my way. Give me the eyes to see the needs around me and the courage to respond with kindness, no matter how small the gesture. May my life reflect Your love in everything I do.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
