Service has such a wide variation of meaning, especially culturally. My success at work in sales is largely due to my service attitude. I serve my clients with the products. But service to God is too often easy to perceive as whatever I want to do on God's behalf. I doubt God is really interested in my limited ability to think of what He needs or wants. He wants my availability to what He thinks He wants. He would know, after all. I need to dial down the selective hearing, be still, let His peace permeate my mind, and ignore the wind, earthquakes, and fires. Somewhere at that point there should be a quiet voice of the Creator, my Master. Then my service will be obedience.
