We are Servants of God

Spread the love

John 12:26 “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”

We, as Christians who follow the Lord, were called servants of the Living God as well. And I was thinking about our prayer life and specifically my own prayer life. How do I pray? What am I saying to God? Is it as a servant saying “What would you have me to do Lord?” Or, like the spirit of this age, am I saying “Here is what I would like you to do for me Lord.” While it is fine to present our requests to God we have to be careful if we get to the stage where unlike a servant, we are continually just telling God what we would like.

We need to be careful not to make ourselves the master and make God our servant.
