Why Do We Really Serve?
Lady Cherlynn Fitzhugh
This month we are celebrating pastors and clergy. I began asking myself questions: Why do we really serve?
As servants, we must always be standing by for duty. Real servants do what is needed even when it’s inconvenient. Are we available to God anytime?
Are we on the lookout for ways to help others? Galatians 6:10 lets us know that we must do good to everyone especially to those who are of the household of faith. Sometimes we miss opportunities to serve because we lack sensitivity.
We shouldn’t make excuses, procrastinate, or wait for when the time is right. Do we always do every task with equal dedication? The size of a task should not make a difference. Colossians 3:23 lets us know that we should do things with all our hearts. Jesus was an example. He washed feet and served the lepers. Nothing was beneath him. He came to serve.
As servants, we should not promote or call attention to ourselves. We should not do anything to impress anyone but to please the Lord. The Bible says if you give even a cup of water to one of the least of his followers, you would be rewarded (Matthew 10:42).
As servants, let us remember that whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Don’t serve for the approval of others. Let us look not only to our own interests but on the interest of others.
