The privilege of ministry

Paul had a keen sense of the grace of God in calling him to preach the gospel. It was his privilege to reveal the mystery and equip God’s people (Eph 3:8-9, 4:12). As such he sought to walk in a manner worthy of his calling so as not to grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:1, 30). Lord, revive in me the joy and privilege of ministry. Help me to carry out my calling in a way that makes you proud, gives me joy and benefits your people!
