The sun was beaming down, sweat rolled down the side of her face, yet; she continued to hand the clothes on the lines that cress crossed the yard. Wash day was burdensome, but; it was her task and she did it as if it was the most important thing she would ever do. Her pride was seen in her work, she was a faithful servant and her employer knew her worth. 1Timothy 5:18 states “the laborer is worthy of his hire” this means service rendered should be compensated accordingly.

Most of us do not consider ourselves as servants unless we work in the domestic field, restaurant industry or in politics; however; Romans 6:16 says “do you not know that when you offer yourself to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death or to obedience, which leads to righteousness”. Each day we make the choice to give our allegiance to the dark ruler of this world or to the one who gave His all for our freedom from the bondage of this world. The decision is ours but so will be the consequences .

John 3:16 tell us ” for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” Jesus came to a rebellious world to show the love of the Father for His wayward children. It was through the eyes of Jesus we saw the Fathers compassion, through His touch we felt the Fathers love, and through His death for our sins the Fathers heart was revealed. The Fathers desire to redeem mankind from the snare of satan was achieved by the sacrifice of His son. Jesus was a servant to all mankind and faithful to His father when He walked upon the earth.

The free gift of salvation was made available, the time of decision is here; we must answer the question Joshua asked so many years ago, choose you this day whom you will serve, will it be God or will it be man? What choice have you made? Your actions will display to the world whos faithful servant you are.
