LUKE 17:10

IBS LUKE 17:10
This is all just very simple: do as you're told our of a servant's heart. If it's what you're supposed to be doing, there is no glory in doing it, so that should not be our expectation or motivation.

It's like being disciplined. In first Peter, it talks about being punished for doing wrong and how that is just, but when you're punished for doing right or for being wrongly accused and still taking the punishment, this is commendable in the eyes of God, and so it is with being a servant and living for the Lord. Doing as we're told, not looking for any glory or personal gain, but simply submitting out of love for each other and the fear of God.

Serving Him, spreading His name, and making disciples should be our main focus, as we've been learning it's the only reasonable thing to do, having been saved with an amazing grace, freely given by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

Application is to pray tonight specifically asking God to condition my heart for more effective service.
