In the book of 2Samuel 13 Joab was fighting and serving his country while honoring King David. There is a vital lesson in true service here in how he did the work up to the final point but then stopped to call his superior in order to not take the credit of his own work.
How many people do we see in our society and unfortunately even in our churches today that want all the attention and forget their position in how to properly serve? Each and every individaul has a position under God but when we begin to seek personal recognition rather than understanding who we truly work for then this is not proper service to the people nor to God our Creator…Amen
James Harrison
It seems like americans encourage this type of personal recognition and humbleness is discouraged.
