Luke 17:7-10
Faithful To Duty
7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? 8 Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? 9 Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
These few verses put our actions into perspective. We are not doing anything extraordinary as we try each day to put the Gospel into practice, no we are simply doing what is expected of us, simply doing our duty. Realistic, humbling. Let us not pat ourselves on the back, but rather remain faithful to the small things that come with our place in the community, family or workplace. Let us do them with joy and energy as if we were doing them for Jesus himself.
