Scripture 1 Thessalonians 2:20  For you are our glory and our joy.

Observation   Paul's ultimate reward in his ministry was not fame, prestige or money. It was all about the lives of people that were changed by the power of God in their lives. Much like what we want to see here on Molokai as well. It's awesome to see the results, in changed lives, of what sharing and teaching the truth of the gospel to people can do.

Application  The reality is that no matter what ministry God has given us as individuals, our greatest reward and joy, should be  the fruit of people coming to the Lord, believing in Him, and seeing them grow in Him.

Prayer  Lord, help us to be "about Your business" this day. Thank You for the privilege of serving in whatever capacity You allow us to. It truly is a joy to be able to inject You into whatever situation arises in our daily lives, as You are what our lives are all about, amen.
