Promises for God’s Servants

Written by ronda on . Posted in Phoebe Connections.

Isaiah 65:13-14

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: My servants will eat, but you will be hungry; My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart, but you will cry out from an anguished heart, and you will lament out of a broken spirit.

Verse 10 of this passage explains that the servants are God’s people who have sought Him. Verse 11 describes a group of people who have abandoned the LORD, forgotten His holy mountain, prepared a table for Fortune, and filled bowls of mixed wine for Destiny. In other words, they were God’s people who sought prosperity and success, rather than God Himself.

Christians can easily become distracted by prosperity and success and begin to seek the emotional high these things supply, rather than the true fulfillment of being a servant of God. God’s promises, however, are with His servants, and only His servants find their hunger satisfied, their thirst quenched, and their hearts fulfilled. Becoming His servant requires seeking Him and not His blessings. His reward is with Him, and seeking rewards outside of Him will only leave one empty.

God calls us to be servants and not rock stars. He fulfills His plans through servants. God called Moses His servant, and Moses did great things. God called Jesus His Servant, and He saved the world through His sacrifice. If God is calling you to do great things for Him, He will first call you to be His servant. He doesn’t need rock stars to attract people to themselves; He works through His servants to draw people to Him. Being a servant of God is the greatest honor we can receive, and with it comes the greatest blessing – true fulfillment.

Have a blessed day!
