Precious Moments That Count For Eternity

DAY 269 OF 366

A Servant’s Heart Servanthood is about attitude. You may have met people in the service industry, who really are not suited for this type of duty. They don’t have the heart to serve. True leaders always have a heart to reach out and serve. Stephen was a man full of faith and power (Acts 6,7). He had a remarkable knowledge of the Word of God and the boldness to preach it with conviction. One day, the Apostles came to him and asked if he would serve tables for some Grecian widows, who were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. Stephen could have said, “Me? Serve tables? I think you are unaware of my wisdom, power, faith, and preaching ability. Get someone else to stand and serve.” That was not Stephen’s reaction. He eagerly took his place among the six other servants and waited on tables. I’m sure that is one of the prime reasons he holds a place in God’s spotlight down through the centuries, becoming the first servant-martyr in the cause of Christ. The Bible teaches us that the way up is from lower down. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Matthew 23:11,12 NIV). True servant leaders put others ahead of their own agenda. They make the first move to help others. They do not worry about their image but serve out of love. Servant leadership is not motivated by manipulation or self-promotion. It just depends on your willingness to serve others. If our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, our Master, led by example, shouldn’t we be following suit? Prayer Lord Jesus, thank You for loving us so much, that You laid everything aside to serve us. Teach us how to lovingly serve others, so that the world may know that we are Your disciples, because of our love for You and each other. Amen.
