I know this may sound like a strange devotion, but have you ever put your “servant’s heart” to the test?  I mean a literal exam, a written test.  No?  Well, let’s do that today by answering the following questions.

1. Do you give of yourself?  Yes _____    No _____
2. Do you consider the needs of others?  Yes _____    No _____
3. Do you obey those who have the rule over you?  Yes _____    No _____
4. Do you have integrity in all areas of life?  Yes_____    No _____
5. Do you willingly submit yourself to regulations and rules?  Yes _____    No _____

8. Do you go the extra mile (do more than is required)?  Yes _____    No _____

I realize some of these questions are difficult for us to answer about ourselves; but if you honestly evaluate your service, it will help you to become a better servant.
