While I was at Life Action Camp, I worked in the kitchen... I prepared the meals that were fed to the many campers that came. Now... before I ever got to the camp I told my family..." I do not want to be in the kitchen..." And there I was. I think God was teaching me that I can (and will) serve Him wherever He wants me too. Surprisingly, I had a great time in the kitchen! I met a ton of new people from so many places. We laughed and really just had a blast! I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. David Livingston once said, "If a commission by an earthly king is considered and HONOR, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a SACRIFICE?" Now I know that what I did in the kitchen may have not been a "big deal"... I just cut up stuff, served it, and cleaned a lot! To some it might seem a pretty silly job, but I was doing for my Heavenly King so it was an honor. I have to admit... if the President of the United States had asked me to work in his kitchen I may have been more excited in the beginning, but Our God is so much more amazing than any president. He is holy, mighty, all powerful, Redeemer, and so much more than we can even imagine!
Colossians 3:23-24: Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
So... next time I get kitchen duty, or any other job that might not be very appealing, I just have to remember that its a honor to serve my King.
Walking In Grace,
Abby
