Full bucket? It’s such a great feeling when you finish all the work that you set out to do. You look at the bucket, as my Dad used to say, and it’s full up to the top.
Think about it. It’s like that with our service to others when you think about it. We have a gracious God that takes care of our every need. If we treat each day as a day in which God will provide perfectly for our needs, we will find that not only are our needs met, but since we have put them in God’s hand, our time is free to serve others.
God’s Word tells us: “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!” Philippians 2: 1-11).
The bucket always has room because our gracious God has provided for us and given us ample opportunity to focus our time and talents on the needs of others. So, today, take another look at your bucket. The odds are that because of His blessings upon your life He has given you ample room to pour out your service to your neighbor.
“I pray today in Jesus name that when our day is through, all seven of them, we can look back and say, ‘The bucket is full of the grace I have received from Christ and have bestowed on so many others. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
