Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel
of God.
Has your life seemed somewhat ineffective of late? Perhaps you are not living the life God has
called you to live. Perhaps it is time for you to kneel in a garden with Jesus and pray, "not my
will but thine be done." Maybe it is time you made a new commitment of your life to a ministry
of service and love. Perhaps you need to open your life anew and let God direct you to a more
effective way of living.
(Romans 1.1
NRSV)
Paul would not let the circumstances, his thorn in the flesh could not defeat him, powerful
enemies could not defeat him, even time could not defeat him. Today 2000 years after his
death millions read his writings and have life changing experiences. Why? Because he totally
submitted his life to God. Because he was totally committed to the ministry to which God had
called him. Finally he opened himself to the leading of God so that God could use him in a
wonderful way.
Dear God, renew my life in you today, as I strive to become a greater servant to your people.
Amen.
