Service

The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:11-12

 Do you understand this? How do I become great? Be a servant! It really does not make sense to the human mind.

What is servanthood? It is definitely not showiness in servitude. Jesus had just remonstrated with the Pharisees for their showy piety. Jesus indicated that true servanthood is unseen, it is a matter of the heart.

Yet Jesus demonstrated servanthood and it was seen, so what does He mean? He means genuine heartfelt service that is not done to have a hand clap but done irregardless of who is watching to earn the Father's praise.

There has been a lot of giving over Christmas, the best giving is that which was motivated by the spirit of God and done without an audience or need for a crowd.

We find God's projects when we find Him. What is He saying? What is on His heart? Where is He?

He says in the Old Testament that when we seek Him with all our heart we will find Him. Amen!
