Reflections on Spiritual Formation: Ministry to the Lord

So often we "go to God" to get our needs met. We're hurting, or tired, or angry, or sad, and so we come before God needing a spiritual fill-up. While it's absolutely imperative to learn to receive good things from the Lord, if that is the motivation for our relationship with Him, the Lord essentially becomes a divine vending machine. If, however, we can learn the joy of not only receiving from Him, but ministering to Him...we can receive the treasure of living and walking through life with God. In today's midweek teaching we explore this topic through a beautiful story found in Matthew 26.
