1 Samuel 3:19
And Samuel grew, and the lord was with him, and did let none of his
words fall to the ground.
Today's' message is taken from this month's focus discussions Living Life
God's Way; the best way to do this is to be a Willing Servant. The story of
Samuel is that he was called by God at an early, but even then he was willing
to serve the Lord.
There are other notables recorded in scripture that showed their
willingness to serve God, and serve they did. These questions come to mind, how
willing are you to serve when the Lord calls you to service? Are we willing to
serve regardless of age and or social status? Are we willing to serve in
unknown places or situations? Regardless of your answer, remember God is with
you through His Spirit. God is true to His word when He says He will never
leave nor forsake His own.
A willing servant has a committed heart, which is essential to our
service. In our service to God, what is our motive? Is it to the glory of God
or for self-aggrandizement? If for selfish reasons, then only earthly rewards
is what we receive because our focus is on position instead of the service we
have been called to render. Remember Jesus’ philosophy on servant, He came “to
serve not to be served.” He is our perfect example of being a willing servant.
A willing servant has a heart for God and seeks to please Him with our
service.
