What Does The Bible Say About Being A Servant?

 What Does The Bible Say About Being A Servant?  I want to start out with a song. The lyrics of the song say this: Make me a servant, Humble and meek

Lord let me lift up Those who are weak And may the prayer Of my heart always be Make me a servant

Make me a servant, Make me a servant today.

I want to now look at some scriptures. The scriptures I want to look at tonight are Philippians 2 verse 5-8, 1 Timothy 4 verse 12, Ephesians 2 verse 10, Matthew 23 verse 11, 1 Peter 5 verse 5, John 15 verse 15, Matthew 20 verse 28, Psalm 119 verse 125, Philippians 4 verse 13, John 4 verse 34, Romans 12 verse 1, and Matthew 25 verse 21.  In the scriptures we see how God helps to show humbleness, kindness, gentleness, and how we can serve others by doing acts of kindness, giving comfort, and even listening.

We know that God is a Just God who will continue to help us grow in our Faith Walk and Relationship with Him.  I want to share some scripture that come from 2 Samuel chapter 7. This is what the scriptures from that book say. 8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.

There are more verses to this chapter that talk about David being a servant. I wanted to however share these scriptures because I felt it talked about what we have been learning about tonight on what it means to be a Servant for God. There are different ways we can serve and there are different ways we can connect with others about God and show them how we can be leaders by helping them learn about God's Word and about who God is. We are children of God, and we all go through different things, but what makes us servants? What does it mean to serve God and help others while serving in the way God wants us to serve?

Thank you all for sharing, before I end on what I would like to end on tonight I would like to let anyone share any comments and prayer requests they may have. Thank you. Here is what I would like to end on for tonight:
