Unseen Servants

Before we jump in: CJ and I are live on YouTube every Tuesday morning at 11am Eastern teaching the Kingdom Writers Workshop, where we're learning to partner with God in our writing instead of doing it on our own.

Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwriters

Unseen Servants Unseen Servants and the risk of bitterness

As writers, we can often feel unseen. If we're not careful, we can become discontent and desire the praise and recognition from men & women. Are we able to be faithful and seek our approval and recognition from God alone? Let's take a look at some examples in scripture.

• Gehazi, servant to Elisha (2 Kings 5:20-27)
• Martha (Luke 10:38-42)
• Older son (Luke 15:25-32)
• Women supporting Jesus (Luke 8:1-3)
• Our friend Craig Sampson, when I worked in YFC. This man was one of the best volunteers you could ever ask for. Always faithful with no desire for personal gain and recognition.
• Matthew 6:4-6 - "Your Father who sees in secret…"
• Revelation 2:2-4 - "I know the things you do…"

May we learn to be content as unseen servants for the Lord, regardless of any praise or recognition we receive from people.
