Are mission trips all about you? Are mission trips all about your task? Are mission trips all about where you serve? Are mission trips all about the people you serve? Answer: NO. It is not about you, or your task, or the place you travel to, or the people you serve. It is ultimately about God. It is He that deserves the glory, He that deserves worship and praise from the people we serve. Our mentality of going to the mission field can sometimes be about the people, but it should be about God first, and then the people second.
Isaiah 48:9-11
For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off. See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.
Malachi 1:11
My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations, " says the LORD Almighty.
