When the disciples asked Jesus what they could do to increase their faith, his response was essentially to stay in touch with the reality of who we are in relationship to God.  We are his servants, and we must remain humble and grateful for what He has done for us.  Immediately following that exchange Jesus heals 10 lepers … just heals them … pours out grace and power and the Supernatural and touches their lives.  The Bible tells us that only one came back to give glory to God.  It becomes a very clear picture of how too many of us live our lives.  We receive the grace of God, and immediately go on about our lives without giving Him glory.  As I read those passages I felt in my Spirit, “I want to be that one …”.  The one that returns glory to God for every grace he extends to me day in and day out.

In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’

Luke 17:10 (NLT)

Prayer:

Father, remind us today of the grace we have in Jesus!  Everything we have, everything we do comes from YOU.  May our lives bring continual glory to YOU, and may we express our gratefulness to anyone who will hear.  I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
