The Daily Dose #0118

True service begins with humility. Everything you do for God comes from His strength and provision. Pride creeps in when you rely on your own abilities, but God calls you to trust Him fully. Humility allows you to serve without seeking recognition, confident that He will provide everything you need to accomplish His work.

Examine yourself as you seek to serve God. Are you relying on your own strength, or are you trusting Him to guide and equip you? Humble yourself knowing that God’s provision is always sufficient for the work He calls you to do.

"But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’"
— James 4:6
