Seeking the Heart of a Servant

By Sarah Beth Lindberg

If you humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, in his good time he will lift you up. (1 Peter 5:6, TLB)

A servant waits

A servant serves

A servant asks for direction

Seeks the Master’s purpose

Looks to fulfill His plan

Desires to advance His purpose

Humbles himself

Lifts the Master up

Chooses peace

Chooses love

Chooses honor

A servant waits

A servant serves

A servant seeks

I want to have a servants heart

I want to wait on You more than I wait on anything

I want to serve You with all of my heart

I want to seek You with all my soul

And depend on You to be my strength

I want to hear well done thy good and faithful servant

But a servant doesn’t advance his own purpose

Doesn’t live to make himself known

Doesn’t look to make himself better

A servant seeks his Master

A servant bows humbly

A servant says not my will but Yours be done

I am but a servant

Here to be used by You God

Here to serve You

Here to love You

Here to wait on You

Life gets crazy

Days pass quickly

Hours seem like minutes

Minutes like seconds

My time flashes quickly before my eyes

And I learn the busyier life gets

The more I need to depend on You

The more I need to stop and wait

The more I need to seek You

The more I need to humble myself

The more I need to glean from Your wisdom

Oh Lord, not my will

But Your will be done

Have all of me

Please advance Your kingdom through me

May I be a tool in Your toolshed

A pen in Your fingertips

A pot of clay shaped by Your hands

I want to serve You

I want to wait on You

I need these moments

These times of just You and me

I will bow down

I will serve You

I will honor You with my life

I’m all Yours

Today and always

Given to Your purpose alone

Lord, please use me!
