Seeking the Heart of a Servant

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 Read more

A Servant’s Heart

It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:26-28, AMP)

Lord, please teach me what it means to be Your servant.  Please give me a greater sense of humility.

A servant serves
A servant asks for direction

Chooses love
Chooses honor

Well Done

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’  (Matthew 25:21)

Well done!  These are the two words I want to hear at the end of my life.  That glorious day that I meet my Savior face to face.  I hope and I pray the words of Matthew 25 will come out of my Father’s mouth.  I pray that I will hear “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.”  I have been thinking a lot about these words lately and what they mean.

It seems like people are getting more and more busy.  The consequence to this is that people are irritable, tired, weak, and frustrated.  I see it almost daily!  This brings me to the question of what is a servant supposed to do?  Does a servant stay busy doing things that don’t matter?  Does a servant have something on his plate every minute of the day?

Or does a servant wait?  Does a servant seek God’s best?  Does a servant stay available?  I find that Satan is sneaky.  He tries to slowly add things to our plate.  Each one can be well meaning and even good at the time we say yes.  But soon our plates get overloaded with things that just don’t matter.  We get so busy that we don’t have time to be still, time to wait, time to pray, and time to worship.
