I have seen you on the streets, in the market, and at your place of business. I have seen you at the clinic, the music store, at the car wash, the court house. You waited on me at the restaurant; you smiled at me when I paid my light bill. You wished me "have a good day!" when you took my shopping basket for me in the parking lot, I watched you help that old man get out of his chair. I saw you hug that little crying child; remember when you picked up that candy wrapper in the hallway at church? Servant of God; you know who you are. You don’t make a fuss about it – you’re always willing to lend a hand. How about the time I was depressed and you gave me encouragement? Remember when I tried to cut you off in traffic and you offered to let me in? And, how about when I heard you praying this morning for your brother’s friend?
Servant of God, I read all about you in Isaiah 42; how you will not shout or cry out in the streets. How a bruised reed you will not break. I also read in Isaiah how the Lord has called you in righteousness. How He told you He would take hold of your hand, and keep you and make you to be a covenant for His people. You, servant of God, “will” open the eyes of the blind, and free the captives! It's what you do.
The Lord shares His plans with you servant of God for He says; “I am the Lord; that is My name! See, the former things have taken place, and now new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you” [Isaiah 42:8, 9]. He blesses you with involvement in His work.
Servant of God, it is in you He places His trust. He depends on you, and you are always there for Him, that’s why He calls you servant. I know I don’t have to tell you all this, servant of God; you know who you are!
