today's qt talked about serving, i remember somewhere someone mentioned that we should be like waitors to a restaurant, but this is more interesting.
Some christians will display their Christianity like a smock waiter in a restaurant. "look at me, i'm serving." "Yes sir, coming right up" but what God wants is us to be the busboy-the person who cleans up after everyone.
While the waiter is busy with other customers, the busboy slides in quietly and cleans off the table. Most of the time we dont even know he's there. he's different. he's not there for the tip, he's there because of the job.
it really shows us how we should be the silent servant, who is un-noticed but enjoys his/her job.
"although no one sees, God sees"
it's funny cos it's exactly the opposite from society. in a working world, it's a competition of capability. everyone tries their best to gain credit to what they do and no one cleans up the mess when things goes wrong.
it really serves as a good reminder when we serve. to be that silent servant who cleans up and expects NO commendation in return. meaning to be humble and not expecting self-credit. afterall, we shouldnt be doing it for ourselves, or for people. but for God.
