Whom to serve?

The answer is almost always: Exactly those you don't want or expect to. My life is split in between a deep, studious devotion to God and his word, and the other half is primarily a job of service. I work part time in the golf department of a country club. I'm hit with doing what I am paid to do and what I should or could do. Honestly, I'm not paid to do much. We're a tipping facility, and many of the guys I work with don't help those members who don't tip. If nothing else, I can show my devotion to service above my paycheck by still attending to ALL members the same. It's against the policies of my fellow employees, and its beyond what is expected. I'm not doing that because I want to "move up the ranks" or impress my boss. I do it because if someone asks me, I have a chance to tell them about the servant king whom I serve.
