If you're too big to serve, you are too small to lead!
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
- Philippians 2:3-4

Once we consider ourselves followers of Christ, we have to begin walking in obedience to what he says. One of the things we are called to is to serve those around us, from our friends and families to random people we encounter in our day-to-day lives.
This week:
Ask God to reveal ways you can serve those around you. Maybe it's a way you can step in to help your spouse better. It could also be an urge to help a neighbor with carrying in their groceries or mowing their lawn.
Ask God to point out areas where you are resisting the call to serve and to change your heart around it. Serving is not always pleasant, and we are only human. We can shy away from serving because it can be messy or because we plain don't want to. Ask the Lord to reveal to you an area he might be calling you to that you are skipping over.
