Be a Servant:

What does being a servant mean? Well I'll tell you.

The Oxford English Dictionary said:
1. " a person employed to perform duties for others, especially in a house on domestic duties or as a personal attendant."

The Bible said:

"We are the servants of the GOD of heaven (Ezra 5:11)
To serve him with your whole heart

The bible also tells us to serve others and to love them more than our selves.

So why do we know that we need to be servants and often tell others to be servants but we do not always act in a servant manner?

I have witnessed this happen so much lately that I am starting to wonder if people really know what they are doing.

It seems that we go out of our way to help others when we know people are watching and it makes us look good. But when there is no one watching us we do not feel inclined to help even our mother, father, brother, sister, friends and neighbours.

Why do we do this? Is it GOD honoring? Is this what Jesus would do? I don't think so!

GOD tells us so plainly that we are to help people especially our christian brothers and sisters in the LORD. How can we serve our great and holy LORD if we can't even serve each other?

I do not even try to pretend that I am perfect in this area but I have been greatly burdened this week by this so please pray for me to be a better servant .

Try this week to serve someone with your whole heart and the LORD will bless you because you have served him.
