What kind of waiter are you?

 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? (Luke 17:8 ESV)
As Jesus further elaborates on what servants do and do not do, we find things to take not of: Are we doing what we are supposed to be doing? Preparing to for Him, waiting on Him? Secondly, Are we dressed properly to serve Him?  Obviously Jesus isn't talking three piece suits or dresses below the knees, but, as Paul puts it: Are we clothed in Christ? Do people look at us and see a servant of Jesus? Finally, Are we attending to His will? Are we in His presence listening to what He wants, responding to His will?  Are we putting Him before ourselves?  What kind of waiter are you?
