Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1
Daily Meditation
“Art thou called…”
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 1 Corinthians 7:21; Colossians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:3
Hymn
“Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.” Mark 10:44
Servant of all, to toil for man
Thou didst not, Lord, refuse;
Thy majesty did not disdain
To be employed for us.
Son of the carpenter, receive
This humble work of mine;
Worth to my meanest labor give,
By joining it to Thine.
End of my every action Thou,
In all things Thee I see;
Accept my hallowed labor now,
I do it unto Thee.
Thy bright example I pursue,
To Thee in all things rise;
And all I think or speak or do
Is one great sacrifice.
Careless through outward cares I go,
From all distraction free;
My hands are but engaged below,
My heart is still with Thee.
Consolation
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. Job 7:1-3
Exhortation
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; Ecclesiastes 3:1-3

Proverbs
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. Proverbs 19:10-12

Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. Job 14:1
