My Place

I've been acting like the master, when I am only the servant. I've been walking around in my masters house waiting and expecting him to serve me. Using all the things he has given me, and still expecting him to serve me. When I have been doing right by him, and doing all he asks me to do, I come in waiting for my reward, and all of his praise. I walk around thinking I deserve more than what I have been given. I'm waiting for him to say come enjoy this feast, after a long days work of doing all I have asked of you, but I've been waiting for something that will not happen. I've been getting upset, that my work has gone with out praise, with out a reward.

I simply forgot, when a servant comes in from doing all his master has asked him to do, he still serves his master. A servant is only doing all he has been asked to do. It is his job, as a servant to do as his master requests of him, but first and foremost, he is always to serve his master first, and when this is complete then he can sit enjoy what he has been given.

This servant will no longer forget her place, her job, and her duties. I will remember that my master always gets served first, and remember what He asks of me, is what I am always suppose to do. I have no right as a servant to demand or expect more, then what I have already been given. I have no right to sit and wait for my rewards, when I am simply doing what I have been asked. I know this is the mentality I am suppose to have everyday, but I also know my loving father, and I do know that all my obedience doesn't go unnoticed, and He is waiting to reward me, but I can't do things with a masters perspective, I must do all things with a servants perspective, I must follow the greatest servant of all, the one who served out of strength and not out of weakness, Jesus.
