Scripture Verse: Jeremiah 18:1-6 (NKJV)
“The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!”

Devotional:
The wonder of God’s kingdom is that greatness comes through servanthood. Jesus—King of kings—stooped to wash feet. He came not to be served but to serve, and in doing so, revealed the heart of God.

To be a servant of God is to take the low place willingly. It’s not glamorous, but it’s glorious. Serving isn’t about tasks; it’s about heart posture. Whether teaching, listening, cleaning, or encouraging, you’re embodying the love of Christ.

In a world that prizes status, we reflect God’s wonder when we choose to serve.

Prayers:

Prayer of Praise for Jesus’ Servanthood:
“Jesus, I praise You for humbling Yourself to serve. Your love moved You to action, and Your example moves me to do the same. Amen.”

Prayer for a Servant’s Heart:
“Lord, teach me to serve with joy. Help me see needs and meet them with love. May I live as Your servant, bringing You glory in quiet and unseen ways. Amen.”
