1.22.12- Attention on Serving

Bible Reading: Exodus 3-5, John 13:1-17


Reel Thoughts:


a few random thoughts...First, isn't it interesting that despite calling Moses to lead His people out of Eygpt, God was getting ready to destroy Moses for failing to complete a small task (circumcising his son) and Moses's wife had to step in and save the day?  Makes you wonder...  Second, why did things immediately get worse for the Israelites after Moses obeyed God?  Finally, and probably most poignant for me right now was Jesus's modeling of servanthood right before His death.  Right up to the end, He was in teaching mode, and one of the last lessons he gave was: your aim should always be to serve, just like I'm doing.  It makes me feel ashamed for all the times where my focus is diverted from service, particularly in light of the extraordinary circumstances under which Jesus was able to keep his attention on serving.
