My Lord is the Humblest Servant

In this hot weather without any hot girls around, I spent my time with my grandmother. Nothing would be more valuable than this. As we know that this coming Monday is a public holiday, a smart guy like me wouldn’t want to be stuck in the potential traffic jam on the highway road. I chose to meet my grandparents at Rawang to see what I can do to better some days in their lives.

Right now, writing this post and sitting beneath a traditional old fan, I naked my upper body as how I did at my home and hostel wondering the exact room temperature right now. I seldom feel hot in my daily life because the temperature seldom troubles me. For that, I assumed that my heat receptor underneath my skin should be located deeper than others ordinary people.

Guess what? I am going to write something in this hot afternoon. This is the fourth week of my study week in this semester. Time flies without hesitation as usual and nothing can stop it to pass by. Thank God for giving me such a wonderful semester in which I am damn busy of doing all sorts of ministry. There are many tasks given to me this semester as my brothers are trying to give me more opportunities to serve. And I am grateful of that.

However, this is also a very tough semester in which I have a final year project to do. This topic of project is not familiar to me because there are some softwares I have to use for doing my work, and I never use them before. It is considered quite a stressful semester I would say. Pray harder and harder so that I would be able to handle both works properly as I don’t want to fall short of the glory of God.

I thank God that I have been sharing with many friends of mine about the gospel of the Bible. Some of them are my course mates. It is indeed exciting and wonderful to share with them the gospel of God, how Jesus Christ died for our sin and paid for the wage of sin which is death. Recently, I am planning to organize an open fellowship in my church for the non-believers in order to let them know more. May God grand me the wisdom so that good work can be done through him.

Recalling the past, I have been very lazy of serving Him in my daily life but yet slowly He brought me to serve Him more at my church and even at some points of time in my daily life. I never expected it can happen that way, but it did miraculously with the love of God. Really give thanks for this wonderful mercy on me because I know I am unworthy for serving this almighty Lord of the world.

Right now, I am struggling with another type of temptation – pride. At some points, it is really tempting to boast about what I do in front of God instead of giving thanks to Him alone with humility that I am supposed to show. What kind of stupid mindset and sinful nature that I have in me thinking that I deserve so-called salvation just because of the goods I did? Didn't I remember that I was saved by His grace and love when I am totally helpless of my salvation status all the time? Didn't I know that serving Him is a must because I am free and no longer the slave of sin but the servant of God? May the Lord punish me and teach me how to be humble in Him as how our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated the greatest humility to us in the Bible.

Philippians 2:6-11
who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is a big contrast between Adam, the first human, and Christ, the Lord. The former as a creature, didn't want to obey the commandments of God but try to grasp any possibility to have the same equality with God and therefore his disobedience brought death to the whole world. However, our Lord Jesus Christ as the creator of the world didn't choose to grasp the equality with God even though he has, but empty himself by becoming into the form of creature he created, and obey to the point of death and through this obedience he brought us a brand-new world and a brand-new life. For all these, I need to repent for my arrogance and imitate His humility, because I am doing what Adam did, instead of being obedient with my actions and my heart. Bless me by showing my unworthiness and revealing your worthiness in my life my dear Lord. And you are indeed praiseworthy! Cus you are the Humblest servant of all.
