How do you react when God asks you to do something "beneath" you? Do you ignore His voice, hoping He'll find someone else to complete the job? How often do you sacrifice yourself to help others? Serving others is not a cushy job; it often requires that you stoop at least a little. But to be a servant of God, you must surrender your pride and not hesitate to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Matthew 20:28 tells us that Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. And if we are to be like Jesus, we must also serve others. But servanthood is not a position you can step into and out of when you feel like it; it is a lifestyle. Make it your lifestyle. God doesn't need big people to do big things; He can use you right where you are. A little action in your tiny space of the world can lead to amazing things.
