The Highest Honor

Matthew 23:11,12

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.


OK what I know is God wants me to do this blog.  But often when we step out in obedience we are a bit blind. We find our expectations and initial understanding to the purpose and plan of God needing to be adjusted, corrected and realigned into the Spirit of God's true intent.  We may feel God wants from us a great performance, a great gift, great worship, or may be busyness to the point of exhaustion.  All of it is as empty and meaningless without the life of God breathing grace into what we do.

So I hope by telling a bit of one's man story you may identify with your own frailty and we together can find and embrace God's true heart and purpose.  I'm so done with living a lifeless existence!

The one thing we need  for God's word to make an  impact is to have ears to hear and a heart which can receive God's Rhema word.  What is the due word in season for you? What passage of scripture is God bringing to your attention?  What particular theme in God's Word do you see no matter where you're reading? If you're part of a local church what particular ministry is God calling you to serve in?

This is where my little journey comes in.  Better said this is where my wrestling with God comes in!   As a young believer in bible school one Sunday morning I was asked to park cars.  This turned into most every Sunday and I missed often where I wanted to be.  I wanted to experience God in worship!  In a nutshell God wanted me to experience/identify with Him in servant hood. 

Let's jump ahead about 20 years to a completely different place.  Now I am a husband and father with my own child going off to college.  Serving as a Deacon in a small church...You would think or maybe just I would think the car days were long gone.  But here is what I know..God wants us to identify with Him in obedience and servant hood.  Honestly I don't feel any more excited about servant hood now as I did 20 years ago.  But I do know without a shadow of a doubt in servant hood is where we most identify with our Master.

I can't speak for everyone but I know in my spirit that I really don't comprehend what it means to be a servant.

What is God saying to you?

In Christ Love
