"'So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded,
say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.'" - Luke 17:10
Servants didn't receive a "thank you" for serving their master. It was there
position, and it was expected of them regardless of how tired they were. Now as
Christ servants we shouldn't be receiving any form of thanks for the things that
are expected from us. Instead, we should fall to our faces and say, "we are
unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty." Out of appreciation for
what He did for us on the cross, giving His life to purchase us from our former
owner, satan.
Yet, in the end, when we have fought the good fight and
finish the race He will give us, His servants, a crown of righteousness (2 Tim.
4:7-8). And we will hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been
faithful over a few things. Enter into the Joy of the Lord." Counting us worthy
to enter into His kingdom.
Application: Tomorrow I will wake up early and
play worship songs giving thanks to my Master.
