All Things Are Your Servants
This verse (Psalm 119:91) is so encouraging to me. Here are two thoughts of application. First, all that comes my way is a servant in the hand of God, and I need not fear His servants (to complete the deduction... therefore I need not fear anything that comes my way). Second, I am privileged as well, to be one of His servants. So I want to be as faithful and trustworthy as possible.
All things are His Servant

I Am His Servant
Another motivating
thought from this verse is that I too bear this role. I am a part of the
"all things" which serve Him. You can be His servant sent to minister
His grace in other people's lives. Have you taken this role seriously? Are you
reliable?
I have many hats
(see my picture and you'll know why). One hat in particular I save for those
occasions when I have to get out and sweat. During my long Monday run I wear
this Jets hat. It serves me well - shielding me from the summer sun. It was
once white. Now it has kind of a yellowish tint to it. I save it for difficult
tasks. No longer fit for my red carpet occasions. When the task involves sweat
and dirt I grab my yellowish, Jets hat.
I would love to be
that kind of servant. When the task is hard when things might get difficult the
Lord sends His less flashy but reliable servants. I don't think John the
Baptist, Elijah, or Elisha would have fit in the in-crowd of Manhattan . I'm not sure they would have fit
in anywhere. But they were signs that played a vital role in serving God. I
want to be ready always for any service... but specifically the difficult tasks
that take blood, sweat, and tears. Oh for grace to serve Him more.
