Are YOU a Servant?


Dictionaries can be frustrating at times. I checked out an online dictionary's definition of the word servant. It listed the definition as "one who serves." So I looked up the word serve and it gave as the meaning of the word, "to be a servant!" OK. Really doesn't help much, does it??!!

So here is my definition. A servant is one who does something (word or deed) for the benefit of another, expecting NOTHING in return.

Now it is of utmost importance that we not only understand the meaning of the word servant, but that we live it out in our day-to-day lives! In Galatians 5:13 we are told, "For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love SERVE one another." So as you go about your day today, be intentionally on the lookout for someone you can serve. Then just do it!
