Grunt vs. General…
There are about a handful of men in total that I have known in my life that I would follow into battle! A handful that I trust with my life – men that I have met throughout my life that I believe wholeheartedly are true Leaders. Men who’s authority I would yield to. You would think that it must be their power – or maybe even their ability to be fair and take into consideration everyone’s opinion that makes me trust them. That they are great decision makers, important and popular to me.
In fact, they all have one thing in common. They are servants. Real ones. The kind that aren’t hiding personal ambition and self promotion just under the surface of their help. They are grunts! And they follow the ultimate Grunt! Jesus Christ!
Most Christians that I meet have a burning desire to be a ‘General’ a Captain! They want to lead – and preach, and build! They want to start churches and volunteer efforts! They want to write a book on their Christian ideas and haven’t even finished reading the Bible!! They want to go to the front of the line and take charge!!
And they will never EVER know the Power and Authority that God bestows on people who are truly the servants of the Lord! He exalts the humble and he puts down the proud!! He really does!
Please stop thinking that the rest of us who are TRUE servants of God don’t know what you’re up to! We do – and so does God! If you have a spirit of ambition and a need to be self important you have never even met Jesus – let alone be in a position to represent Him. Take that home and chew on it!
“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28
