The other day, I was reading a story, and a knight said: "I serve at the pleasure of the king." It made me think. What if we took the quote and applied it to God, The King? What if we took this attitude more often, especially in our daily lives?
What does that mean? To me, it means we don't act on our own whims. We wait for God's instructions. We serve Him. We await His timing. We obey His every command. We serve the way we were instructed to serve.
This doesn't mean we can't think or act for ourselves. Yet what if we took God's Word and applied it so firmly to our lives, and stood so firmly rooted in Him, that we wouldn't ever really make a move without Him? What if we truly listened for His instructions and obeyed Him always?
"I serve at the pleasure of The King."
