How's your attitude when it comes to serving?

Here's Nancy Damas Walgemuth.

It's so easy to look around and sometimes we think God's asking us to do more than he asks others to do.

And we start to compare and we say,

yeah, let's somebody else work here now.

It's time for somebody else to chip and I've done enough, I've done my part.

Why do I have to keep serving?

This is the Revive Our Hearts Podcast with Nancy DeMasse Walgemuth, author of Choosing Gratitude.

For May 20, 2024, I'm Dana Gresch. It's a lot easier to be a servant at 9 in the morning that it is to be a servant at 9 in the morning that it is to be a servant at four in the afternoon. I mean after spending all day with

active toddlers or a parent who's in the hospital, pile of paperwork, acting out of a servant's

heart can get old. So how do you continue to serve at that point?

Here's Nancy to give us some insight.

So we want to examine what servanthood looks like, what a servant's heart looks like, how we get

one and how we know if we have one.

There are two Greek words in the New Testament that are translated servant in our English

Bibles. The first word was the word

D-O-O-O-S. It's the word that in some of your Bibles is translated Bond Servant.

It's a relationship of submission and

subjection that a man has to his master. It's a permanent lifetime

arrangement. It's a voluntary arrangement. This man we saw back in Exodus chapter 21. He was free to go, but he said,

I love my master. I want to stay with my master. I'm going to let you pierce a hole in my ear as a symbol, a sign that I belong to you and I want

to serve you for the rest of my life.
