365 WORDS....ONE WORD AT A TIME

Todays word is SERVITUDE. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day...this day is celebrated as a day on and not a day off...a day of SERVITUDE. The word SERVITUDE in the dictionary means...The state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful. This definition surely makes SERVITUDE seem like such a horrible thing...but is it really? In the Bible SERVITUDE is the act of serving others. When SERVITUDE is an act of service it is not slavery. Those in the armed services are in SERVITUDE to our country. Doctors, Lawyers, Pilots, Cashiers, those in Customer Service, are all people in SERVITUDE. Serving others not only brings you a paycheck...but it can also give you joy! Proverbs 11:25 says Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. When we are in SERVITUDE to others our lives will be enriched. When we pour SERVITUDE into others...God will see to it that our needs are met by SERVITUDE being poured into our pitchers until they are filled up and running over. If you missed your opportunity for SERVITUDE on the MLK holiday...there is always tomorrow and the tomorrow after that and the tomorrow after that. Always look for an opportunity for SERVITUDE and you will be blessed! 


And whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. ~Mark 10:44-45
