In 1971, the eyes of millions of Americans were on the
Apollo 15 moon mission. You may remember the astronauts David R. Scott &
James B. Irwin, who landed on the moon & spent 18 of their 66 hours there
outside the spacecraft. They covered over 17 miles of the surface in a
specialized vehicle people dubbed the “moon buggy.”
Upon returning to earth, James Irwin, a professed Christian
believer, declared, “As I was returning, I realized that I am not a celebrity
but a servant. So I am here as God’s servant on Planet Earth to share what I
have experienced, that others may know the glory of God.”
Most of us will never attain the status of a James B Irwin,
but all of us can have the attitude he possessed - the attitude of a servant.

Jesus said: "… The most important one of you should be
like the least important, and your leader should be like a servant." (Luke 22:26 CEV)
"The measure of a man is not how many servants he has,
but how many people he serves." – D.L.Moody.
Jas 4:6 (KJV): "…God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble."
