From July 26 to August 7, 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 may never attain the status of a James B Irwin,
but all of us can have the spirit he possessed - the spirit of a servant.

“Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you
to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see
of me.” – Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 26:16 NIV)
“The most important qualification for a servant of God is
that he does not seek his own.” - Zac
Poonen.
