Luke 17 : 10

Luke 17:10 NKJV

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.’ ”

Theme - servant

‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ we don't deserve anything, we aren't worth anything when we live for anything other then God. We simple do what we have to do to get by in this world, so we can go home to a house filled with our family. We think we are good people, so we think that we deserve something, but the bible says something like this, its not by works but by faith and faith alone. We can't do good and just think we deserve heaven. We do good works, because of what Christ did for us, and so that all the glory that is recieved from doing those works is given to Christ.

Philippians 2:14-16, "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain." This is being a true servant of God, we don't complain or dispute,  because we think we deserve to do better a service then what has been given to you. But through these services we stick out, in a perverse generation, as of a lighthouse stick outs to ships passing by. And holding on to the word of truth through all of this so when the enemy attacks, we may fend them off with the truth. So that we may rejoice in the name of Christ, and that our labor or services do not go in vain.

Application - write this verse and put in my Bible as book marker, so I may see it every day.
