Day 6: Obedience In Ministry

People pleasing has a way of disguising itself as “wisdom” or “waiting,” but it often looks like shrinking back from the very thing God told us to do. Today I’m continuing our 31 Days of Obedience journey with Day 6: Obedience in ministry, where faith meets consistency and success looks like daily surrender. If you’ve ever questioned your calling, worried about how you’ll be received, or hesitated to use your spiritual gifts, this devotional is for you.We sit in 1 Peter 4:10-11 and get honest about what ministry is really for: God has given each of us gifts, and we’re meant to steward them well to serve one another. Whether you’re gifted in speaking, helping, leading, or encouragement, the strength and energy come from God, and the point is always His glory, not our image. I also share how Galatians 1:10 keeps me grounded when fear of rejection shows up, because if pleasing people is my goal, I’m not serving Christ.You’ll hear practical encouragement for breaking the fear of man (Proverbs 29:25), letting God’s perfect love cast out fear, and releasing the need to measure faithfulness by metrics. I’ll leave you with a reflection question that exposes what’s driving your hesitation, plus one simple obedience step you can do today: reach out to someone and ask, “How can I be praying for you today?” then actually pray.If this strengthens you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more women of faith can learn to live intentionally.
