Servants

After Abimelech, Tola son of Purah, son of Dodo became judge and began to deliver Israel. He was from Issachar and lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. Tola judged Israel 23 years and when he died, was buried in Shamir.

After him came Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel for 22 years. He had 30 sons who rode on 30 donkeys. They had 30 towns in Gilead, which are called Jair's villages to this day. When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon. Judges 10:1-5

These two judges were non-descript, yet they served the Lord's purpose, were chosen by him and did the task given to them.

Do we need to have a Gideon experience, a Moses experience? Or will be satisfied with doing the task given to us and serving in that capacity?

There are many people who serve. This past weekend my church conducted a women's conference in the North West of NSW, Australia. Hundreds of women came. The conference was spectacular but what stood out to me was the service of the church people. Faithful, good people wearing black t-shirts so as to not stand out.

Without servants nothing big is achieved. I honour all those who served and say thank you! I am proud to be a part of my church, what a good community of believers.
