Luke 17:10 "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, We are unprofitable servants, We have done what was our duty to do."
I have no reason to be prideful when the tasks I have done are complete. I have no reason to say " what a great servant I am." Because there is nothing I can do to amount to more than what God does! For " They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one." Romans 3:12. Now, just because I can't do enough or all I do won't amount to anything doesn't mean I will stop serving. I will continue to serve for it is my duty. Even if I get nothing in return, this life isn't about me. Naturally I want to do my own thing but, through God's strength I shall do His will. Still, it isn't easy, for I am required to die daily. Daily I must call on the name of the Lord for His help and guidance. It isn't a one time thing, God must be the center piece everyday and all it takes is saying in the morning " Lord God, please help me to do your will today. Please give me a clear mind and your strength to do your will. I can't do it on my own, I need you, please. In Jesus' precious name I pray, amen." Daily I pray this prayer, it's not the same each time I pray it but, I wouldn't get through the day without God there with me. The thing is He won't force Himself upon me, I have to ask Him to come to me and to help me. Which He is more than willing to do but, again I must ask Him to. I will continually pray for God's help and strength.
Praise be to God for His willingness to help even though I don't deserve such.
