Tues Devo: The service game

Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” (NASB)

Hello,

Perhaps some of you follow a little bit of tennis, then you knew that this past weekend was the championships for Wimbledon. Like any tournament the service game is critical. When you serve poorly you don’t even get a chance to score, your opponent scores immediately. When you serve well – you often don’t have to defend, the serve speaks for itself. But for this you need a few things:
Pace/Speed, Location – but most importantly…Practice! You don’t get the results without first practicing. When you have practiced it thousands of times you are able to just react and let the muscle memory take over to execute the right serve.

I believe these items are essential for Biblical service as well. Practice wherever you can –get those mechanics down, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Then, pick up the pace and speed – keep going and be quick to serve. Finally, look at the location – where are we gifted/skilled? Pick those spots and go after them the most!

Have a blessed day,
