Luke 17:7 “suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ’come along now and sit down to eat?”
Mathew 6:24 “no man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.” If I choose to be a servant to god then I’m also choosing to serve his people, to me there is no hirer ranking on humans and we are all children of Christ and should serve each other in act of serving the lord right? I see myself as both the person working in the field and the person being served. There has been countless times being at potters field getting a taste of what fellowship and what being a servant for Christ means where I have served the same person that has served me. For example, karlee took me on a walk when I first got here and served me with her time comforting me when she could have been studying or talking catching up on homework and the next week I went in town and bought her a tube of toothpaste. She served me with her time and I served her with toothpaste. In 1 king 12:7 it says, "If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants." When I picture a body of Christ I see fellowship and love held together by the use of serving each other while in the act of serving god as well. I have one master and many people to serve and many people who have served me.
Application: I will continue to try and notice the next time I can serve someone who has or hasn’t served me, I have a lot of letters to reply to from all the people that wrote me comforting notes when I was struggling my first couple weeks here, that’s where I will challenge myself to start J
