At night you lie in bed, making evil plans. And when morning comes, you do what you’ve planned because you have the power. ~ Micah 2:1 (CEV)
But Jesus called the disciples together and said:
You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the people they rule. But don’t act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others.~ Mark 10:42-43 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Greatness comes by humbly serving rather than exerting power.PRAYER:
Almighty God, instead of unleashing your power on us you became our servant by sending your Son Christ Jesus to live and serve among us. It doesn't make sense that I admire powerful people. I want to be a part of your cultural revolution which honors humble servants. Help me to change so that the powerful don't influence my life. I'm going to start by focusing more on being a servant myself. Amen.
