God introduces His servant in Isaiah 42:1 as one who is chosen, strengthened, and pleasing to Him. This prophecy, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, reveals three keys to faithful service: understanding we are chosen for a purpose, serving in God's strength rather than our own, and living to please God above all else. True servants show compassion to the vulnerable and persevere through challenges without seeking attention. Being chosen by God doesn't mean avoiding suffering but standing firm in our identity and purpose even when life gets difficult.
