How Unprofitable Do You Think You Are?

‘And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, 'Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea'; and it should obey you." But which of you, having a servant plowing or tending cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, 'Go and sit down to meat?' And will not rather say unto him, 'Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?' Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do'.'

A sign of a servant: recognizing his duty without transgression or fruitless offensiveness. Learning how to serve God, in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing what you have from Him has been given by Him. How unprofitable will you let God show you how to be?
