POWER

MICAH 2:1 (MSG)
Doom to those who plot evil,
who go to bed dreaming up crimes!
As soon as it’s morning,
they’re off, full of energy, doing what they’ve planned.


MATTHEW 20:25-26 (CEB)
But Jesus called them over and said, "You know that those who rule the Gentiles show off their authority over them and their high-ranking officials order them around. But that’s not the way it will be with you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant."

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's desire is that we'd use whatever power we have to serve those with less.

PRAYER
Gracious God, you've given us more power and privilege than we're ready to acknowledge. Perhaps we're afraid that you'd expect us to use it all for the good of our neighbors. Jolt us with a fresh dose of reality so that we can better align our lives with Jesus and his kingdom. Afterall he came to show us how to serve. Amen.
