A Christian Servant

Luke 17:7 "And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him coming in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'?"

Servanthood is a basic theme in Christianity that we come across over and over in Scriptures. The way that a Christian is to conduct himself is similar to that of a servant simply doing his job. Paul even calls himself a "bondservant" of Christ. This description talks about our position, our heart and our work in Christ.
As a servant we are subject to the Master of the house. We submit to God and his desires in every area of our lives. As His servant we have no rights or privileges. We are the last to be considered and the first to be asked to do something. We willingly do all that is asked of us without complaining or grumbling for that would not be acceptable due to our stature. We are charged with taking care of the master's property and business and do any job that is given to us. At any moment the Master has the right to reassign us or tell us what to do. Our job is to simply obey.
The heart of a servant is one that is surrendered to the wishes of the Master. He has resigned to the fact that he exists solely for the Master's pleasure and has given up all hope of living for his own purposes. He has a heart willing and ready to yield to whatever is given him to do. The servant does not show any sign of rebellion or even disagreement with his master. A good servant is faithful in his responsibilities and diligent in his work.
Finally, all that is on the servant's heart is to do as the Master commands. He gives every effort and strength to his Master, spends every moment of his day working for the benefit of his Master. There is never a question of "Why should I do this" or "I think I could be used better somewhere else." The answer of the servant is always "Yes, Master" and he goes and does what he is asked to do. His schedule is determined by the one he belongs to and he never does anything without making sure it is in the Master's will.

Application
In order to surrender to the Father and align myself with His will, I will remind myself to have an attitude of "Your will be done" in all situations that I come across.
