How Can I Serve in Gods Kingdom?

b'How can I serve in God\\u2019s kingdom?\\nOften, we as teenagers shy away from this question. We say things like, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Well, I\\u2019m too young\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d or \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153I\\u2019m just not strong enough.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nBut do these excuses hold up? After all, David was young when God used him to kill Goliath. Gideon was the least in his family, but God used him to defeat the Midianites. Esther was a young woman when she went before the king to save her people. Jeremiah was young when God called him to be a prophet to the people of Judah. I could go on and on about how God used normal people\\u2014like you and me\\u2014in extraordinary ways in His kingdom. \\nYou don\\u2019t even have to do anything big for God to serve in His kingdom. Try serving in a Sunday school class, sharing the gospel with a friend, or helping set up the church before the service starts. You might think these small tasks are minuscule and unimportant to God, but they\\u2019re not. God delights even in the little things you do for Him and uses them in His kingdom.\\nSo, the next time someone asks you, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153What can you do to serve in God\\u2019s kingdom?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d and you feel too young or too weak for the task, remember this: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Philippians 4:13). \\u2022 Samuel Miano\\n\\u2022 In the past, how has God used you or someone you know in His kingdom? \\n\\u2022 What are some ideas you have for how you might want to serve in God\\u2019s kingdom? \\n\\u2022 Pray about the ideas you listed, asking God to show you how He would like to use you in His kingdom. \\nI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
