How do we show God that we are ready to do his bidding?

There are many practical ways if we gave time to make a long list. The way I think does it best is to remember the words of Jesus in Mathew 23:11-12, “The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Jesus is our example when he washed his disciples’ feet before going to the cross.

There is a principle at work in regard to our service to God. If you will do well what some might call the “little” deeds of duty, God will enlarge your effectiveness. I base it on other words of Jesus in Matthew 25:23, “'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!”
