A Real Job
This Week's Theme: Being a Server
Tuesday, May 1, 2001



Key Bible Verse: Each one should. … serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:10).
Bonus Reading:1 Peter 4:7-11

Almost 30 years ago I met Duncan Miller, a brilliant young manager in the fledgling computer industry. One day he informed me that he sensed a call to get involved with a Bible study for prisoners.

Duncan began to go behind the walls of Concord (Massachusetts) Correctional Institution every Monday night and teach the Bible. He's hardly missed a night since that inauspicious beginning. Over the years many have followed him, been trained by him, and extended his vision to all parts of the prison. Recently he showed me a complete Bible study curriculum designed for men and women in the prison world that's been instrumental in introducing scores of inmates to faith in Jesus.

Today, Duncan Miller leads a high-level Defense Department task force that coordinates computer simulation programs for training our military. He's highly respected in his profession. But his vocation is prison work. He's a kingdom-builder.

—Gordon MacDonald in Mid-Course Correction

Respond:

What can you do, without fanfare, to make a difference?

Thought to Apply:

I used to ask God to help me. Then. … if I might help Him. I ended up asking Him to do His work through me.

—J. Hudson Taylor (China missionary)

Adapted from: Mid-Course Correction (Nelson, 2000)
