The Eyes of a Servant

The psalmist understood the importance of having the right attitude toward God. He knew that each of us needs to have a personal relationship with Him. To depend on Him. And we need to know that He is God Almighty, Creator and ruler of the universe.

But he also understood the importance of being a servant. He pictured the way in which a faithful servant waits upon a loving master. Watching. Always ready to serve. The perfect picture of the attitude we are to have toward God.

We are to be ready to serve Him in every situation. To realize that He has blessed us that we might be a blessing to others. That we each have assignments, and ways we are to invest the resources He has given us. He wants us to be so committed to serve Him that we will be sensitive to His every gesture, always ready, always listening, always available.

The psalmist taught us that we need to trust in God in every situation. The true test of our faith comes in the midst of life … when we face opposition and difficulties. He wants us to turn to Him, and so trust in Him that we will wait for His every word.

Today, renew your personal relationship with God. Look to Him and depend on Him. Then seek to serve Him with the attitude of a servant. And make sure that you trust in Him in every situation. He is faithful. And He loves you!
