Being a Godly Man Series #4

SERVE THE KING

Seek His Kingdom. Live for the eternal.

What does it mean to be a man of service? Wow, that is a loaded question. Personally, I knew what seeking a life of service meant for a long time. Though to be honest, I never wanted to ask God how he wanted me to serve. While it is great to be there for friends, family, and those we don't know - being a servent is more than just helping others.

After losing my job in mid-2024 and then experiencing God’s provision with a new opportunity in 2025, He used that time to grow me in ways I didn’t expect.

That season forced me to finally stop avoiding the question I had been unwilling to ask:
"Lord, what do You want me to do with my life?"

It’s a scary question—especially if you’re genuinely open to hearing the answer. Because He will answer—though in His timing—and what He says might not be what you were hoping for.

What if, as someone who’s comfortable behind a computer screen, God calls you to learn a new language? To launch a career centered around teaching—language, culture, and His love? To speak face to face with CEOs and influencers to share His mission, even if public speaking and leading meetings terrify you?

Would you go?
Would you travel halfway around the world if He called you to?

It’s easy to say “yes” to God—until you’re actually faced with the unknown. Until you're standing at the edge, unsure how you’ll provide for your family if you leave your job.

I heard something powerful from Christian artist Ben Fuller while he was on stage. He shared how, when he chose to walk away from big-name country music labels to pursue Christian music, he was hanging on by a thread. And yet—God never left him.

Sometimes that provision came in miraculous ways, like a check in the mail with no return address and a note simply saying, “Keep going.” Fuller gave up fame and fortune because he heard the call of a God he had just met.

His story is incredibly inspiring—if you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out the video below and hear his journey of surrender and service.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
— Matthew 6:33

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
— Mark 10:45

We are not called to comfort, but to faithfulness. Our reward is not in this life but in the next. Serve as Christ served — joyfully, sacrificially, and with eternity in view.
