What Servants Do

Scripture 2 Sam 15:15 And the king’s servants said to the king, “We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands.”

Observation: These were the servants of King David and they knew what servants are supposed to do. I call myself a servant of the Lord, my King Jesus, but do I know what a servant is supposed to do? It’s pretty basic a servant serves and does what he is commanded to do. My Lord has given me commands including the ten commandments, but the Bible is full of commands my Lord expects me to carry out. None of which are too difficult to accomplish and all seem to be for my benefit anyway. Even if the commands would have been outrageous my Lord deserves the best from me to complete the tasks he sets before me.

Application: I know what my Lord wants and He does deserve all that I am to complete those tasks. I need to be obedient to His will and fulfill each command with honor to him. There is nothing he can command me to do that he would not be worthy of me doing. I need to make sure however when I do the things he calls me to do that he gets the glory and honor and not myself, for I am a lowly servant to the most high God.

Prayer: My Lord and my King, command your servant to do the tasks you desire of me. Keep me in your word and speak to me as I read and show me each day the schedule of duties that you have for me. I love you Lord and freely give you this life as your bond servant, use me please.
