“Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”        Genesis 18:5 NIV

Not only was Abraham swift in his service to the Lord, but he was also sacrificial in his service to the Lord. He went to his flock and personally selected, killed and prepared a calf for their meal. We haven’t really become a servant until our service costs us personally. Being willing to sacrifice for our Master is a sign that we are possessed of a servant’s heart. Whether the service is time, tithe or talents, it is willingly rendered at the request of the Master and for His glory. The greatest sacrifice we can offer, of course, is ourselves! That is a sacrifice that no one else can give to Him! When He has us, He has everything we have anyway! While his visitors were eating their meal, Abraham stood quietly by to serve them in any way they might need. He simply stood beside them, adopting the pose of a servant, listening for the voice of his Lord! Imagine the response of Abraham’s servants as they watched him assume the role of a servant to the Lord. What a powerful testimony it was to them! By the way, others are watching! Let us make sure our service and testimony are all they should be! Servants of the Lord are those individuals who make themselves ever available to the Lord and His work. They are His and they have no will of their own, but they are lost in His will for their lives! That is a servant’s heart!
