Too Busy Serving

Feb 25

Written By Jeff Larson

Apostle Paul Bible Cartoon of being too busy serving to notice his trials — **The First Great Missionary**

In Paul's words from **Acts 20:24**: "I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."
May we all be so wrapped up in serving that adversity becomes background noise. What distracts you from your calling?

Paul endured beatings, shipwrecks, imprisonment, and more — yet he was too busy serving to notice the adversity. A humorous reminder from the life of the first great missionary: When your eyes are on the mission, the chains don't feel so heavy. (Inspired by Acts 20:24 and Paul's trials in 2 Corinthians 11:23–28)
