His Servant

HIS SERVANT


How wonderful it is for brethren to live together in worship unto the Lord. As we walk in His footprints, we have the peace of God in our hearts to share among ourselves. 
We can uplift and encourage each other, while we're holding hands. We also must please God and become servants of all.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 4: 15-17.


I wander through life as a follower of Him 
Who calmed the waters from my storms within 
And as I walk at the beach of life's sea 
I see footprints in the sand, leading me 

They bring me to places which make me aware 
Of my own soul's condition, my desires and fare 
He reveals my own ambition, as where I stand 
And gently leads me back by His holy hand 

I've missed His footprints from time to time 
Doing my own thing, as I followed a crooked line 
Assuming that it would be alright for now 
Just to find myself off track, with sweat on my brow 

I've learned by following Jesus in His steps 
Living according to His word and precepts 
That we will be indeed a useful tool  
Called wise by God, but by the world a fool 

To be the greatest in the Kingdom of our Lord 
One has to be humble, according to God's word 
Not considering one's own comfort and care 
But be servant of all, with whom Jesus we share 

When we'll think nothing of ourselves, while serve 
Following in His footprints, with great nerve 
Allowing His Spirit to take full control in our life 
We'll see fruits for our labor, by souls that survive 

Now let us reach out as true servants of God 
Encouraging each other on the path we've trod 
Walking together, while for souls we'll fight 
Will glorify the Father and make our bonds tight 

 

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?"  Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, 
"Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:1-4. 

As servants in the work of the Lord we have to 
recognize that the people we serve may not be at the same spiritual level as we are. 
They need help, instruction, direction, guidance, admonishing and encouragement.  

That is why the Lord appointed us as teachers, preachers, evangelists, prophets or apostles, to lead them in the wisdom of the Lord to higher ground; the place where the Lord wants them to be. 

Let us be worthy of His calling. We are standing by His grace only.
