Live it..
I enjoy stories about a little guy overcoming the odds against him to reveal his strength of character and reliance on God. More times than not, they quietly work in the background, doing what needs to be done, allowing other people to get attention and credit. The church is full of people like that. They faithfully serve without drawing attention to themselves, making you wonder if they even use the pronoun "I" when they pray. I believe they will be at the front of the line in heaven with the big shots in back asking who they are.

Before you go thinking I'm one of those people, you should know it's hard, if not impossible for a prophet/teacher to be invisible. For years I wouldn't reveal my name in this intercessory prayer ministry, but tried to remain anonymous. I called myself Webservant and only reluctantly told people my first name if they wanted to pray for me by name. That worked for a while, but after representing the ministry to newspaper and television, anonymity was no longer possible. These days, I still go by Webservant, but there's no attempt to hide, but neither is there an attempt to be visible. So you know, God is looking for "little" people. In Ezekiel 22:30,we learn He needs them to build up the wall and stand in the gap before Him. If you want to apply for the position, begin by spending more time in prayer for other people and less time on yourself.

Pray it
Help me remember whom I serve every time I open my mouth.
