“We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.” Does anyone struggle with this verse? What if you are doing your duty and you look around and see that others are not? We begin to look for recognition and complain when we are not thanked. We begin to compare ourselves to others and boast. The challenge is to do our full duty, and yet to remember that we are unworthy servants who have not done anything more than what is expected. We have done nothing special that God should thank us for it. We were not chosen because we are special, but because of God’s grace. We also know that God does not need anyone to do him a favor. Rather he has done us the favor in calling us to his service. It is a privilege to serve God. Knowing how unqualified we are for the work given to us, we can only say, “Thank you, God, for using us. We are unworthy servants.”
