Being a Right Hand Man

There is the saying and phrase one is a "right hand man" meaning they are an indispensable helper or chief assistant.  Christ is always described as sitting on the right hand of Heavenly Father.  Can we become a "right hand" servant of Christ?  There are several Psalms that talk of being on the right hand of God.  My favorite is Psalm 118:14-17.  It teaches me that being at the right hand includes being valiant and declaring the gospel. 

14 The Lord is my ^astrength and song, and is become my ^bsalvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the ^atabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

16 The right ^ahand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.      

When Christ discussed with his apostles who would be at his right hand, He reminded them of his own example of ministering to others.

"but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief amount you, let him be your servant:  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Matthew 20:26-28

To me this means prayfully seeking inspiration each day of who the Lord would have us serve.
