| Too Big To Serve |
| “By love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). |
| When I was a young man an older brother gave me some good advice. He said, “If you love your fellow-believers, learn to serve them.” However, the problem is that sometimes we may think certain tasks are beneath us. The following story from history is a good illustration of how we need to learn that no service for Christ is too lowly, and that the Lord Himself said: “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much” (Luke 16:10). |
| During the American War of Independence, also known as the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), some soldiers were laboring to raise a great log of wood from a roadway. Someone came along, and seeing a soldier standing by asked why he was not helping his fellow comrades. Drawing himself up, he answered: “Don’t you know that I am the Corporal?” He felt he was too big to serve. Too high to stoop to such a menial task. |
| The visitor, said: “If you won’t help, I will.” |
| The job was soon finished, and the Corporal asked: “And who are you?” |
| “I am General George Washington,” was the reply. |
