Have A Servant's
Heart
Matthew 24:46 "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord
when he cometh shall find so doing."
We are called to be servants, are we not? Well, what does a
servant do? He (or she) carries out the will of his master.
A servant doesn't tell his master what to do -- he performs
whatever tasks the master requests of him. A servant doesn't
choose what days or times it's most convenient to serve his
master. A servant's function is simply to follow and obey
his master’s instructions. A servant does not develop a
vision for the master either. The master is the one with the
vision -- and he wants his servants to be ready and
available to carry out that vision and bring it to fruition.
How can we experience fulfillment in our lives? Simply by
serving our Master -- our Heavenly Father. The world
encourages us to seek counterfeit fulfillment -- power
success -- prosperity. The more of these things we gain, the
more our flesh wants more. It is our sinful human nature. We
will never find true fulfillment when we seek these things.
We must become servants if we want to experience true
fulfillment. We need to become lowly, meek and humble. As
God's servants we should have no other agenda, except to do
His will. When we become faithful to do His will, then He
will fulfill the aspirations He desires for us in our
lives… and even those things we desire!
As God's faithful servant -- we share in His success, we have
direct access to His power and wealth and are able to walk
in His authority! Let’s get our hearts in servant mode and
watch how God brings about all the things we need and want.
