Everyone Wants to Be The Hero

We have this deep need.

We like to watch them on TV.

We like to step in to great need,

We'll go to great lengths to be seen.

Everyone wants to be a hero.

What if being the hero

is doing the things 

for the least of these?

The ones who aren't grateful?

Doing the daily routine

and the same-o, same-o?

What if it was being faithful

at that same monotonous task

day in and day out?

Those things no one really thinks

is grand

and no one knows about 

but you and God?

Someday, we will hear the words,

"Well done, my good and faithful servant".

All along it wasn't the spotlight,

the accolades, the applause 

and praise of men in lofty positions.

It wasn't the recognition of a ministry

that you put all your effort into

and let the public know 

every charitable thing 

so as to gain more from them.

It isn't any of that.

It is being faithful to God

as His servant wherever you are at.

Seek first the kingdom of God.

He said to pray

HIS kingdom come,

HIS will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

All that is man's kingdom will crumble

and fall like houses built on sand.

All that is His is built on a rock.

The wind can buffet,

the waters can rise.

It will stand because it was built 

on the rock.

Just like the song:

"On Christ the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand.

All other ground is sinking sand."

He is the hero.

We are under His command.

Be faithful to Him

as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
