Jesus’ talks about readiness in Luke 12:35-48. He begins that discourse by challenging us to be dressed for action. I wonder if this was the basis for Paul’s discourse on the armor of God in Ephesians 6? I wonder if I am being as active as I should be? The actions that Jesus desires to see in us include all the expressions of the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), those actions to which the early church was devoted (Act 2:42-47), plus numerous other details spread throughout the Bible and written onto each of our hearts. When we are active in the areas where Jesus has placed us I believe we will not tire or grow restless. The Holy Spirit will enable to be about Kingdom work with joy and peace. Even if there seems to be no end. The fruit of our service will be evident to us and God will encourage us daily. That is how I see the servant being about the masters work.
It took me about 23 minutes to read this passage.
