Is serving people serving Allah also?

Salaam's All,
i have a quistion.
When a general serves/carries out a command of a president and likewise a captain carries out the command of the general and the soldiers carry out the command of the captain then is it feasible to say the soldiers are serving the president.
remember
56.
Wama khalaqtu aljinna waal-insailla liyaAAbudooni
I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.Thanks
And Allah's Blessings.

If one were to service a machine, by simply doing one small positive act, such as oiling a cog-wheel (i.e a component of the machine), then whilst the act was done on only one part of the machine, it would be true to say that one served the whole of it.
This observation holds, no matter how many components the machine has, be it ten or billions.I believe in this, lies the foundation to understanding the concept of serviing (ibadat) The God, as expressed in 'the reading' (al quran).
