This week’s Family Devotional Guide is provided courtesy of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (and used by permission). Spend this week discussing the points and Scripture passages and how we as believers can best apply these verses to our own lives.
DAY 1 - The Attitude of a Faithful Servant
Philippians 2:5-11 tells us that our attitude should be like the attitude of Jesus, who humbled Himself and took on the nature of a servant.
Romans 14:17-19 teaches that the Kingdom of God is a matter of “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God” (NIV).
DAY 2 - The Motivation of a Faithful Servant
First Corinthians 10:31 tells us that no matter what we do, we are to do everything to the glory of God.
The Apostle Paul wrote that his supreme motivation was to know Christ and to be found in Him. See Philippians 3:2-11.
DAY 3 - The Work of a Faithful Servant
Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind,” and the second-greatest is to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37, 39, NIV).
In the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus instructed His followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.
DAY 4 - The Reward of a Faithful Servant
Luke 12:37-38 tells us, amazingly, that for those servants who are found watching and ready when the Master returns, He will come, seat them at the table and wait on them.
The New Testament speaks again and again about the reward of those who follow Jesus. In the final chapter of the Bible, Jesus says, “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done” (Revelation 22:22, NIV).
