Jesus was a servant of
servants. He washed the feet of the apostles. He was trying to explain to them,
as He is to us, that we are to be servants. We are not to elevate ourselves at
any time. We have no right or authority to make ourselves better than others.
We have every right to make ourselves a servant to all. (John 13:1-17) Those
who do right and as God says while Christ is away are the faithful and wise
servants. It is easy to play while the Master is away. It takes a true servant
to continue to serve while no one is there to hold him accountable. Always
remember when Christ, our Master, comes back everyone will receive their due
wages. Are you working while you wait? (Matt. 24:45-51)
Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.
