S – Scripture
Mark 9 v. 35 And he said to them, “If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
O – Observation
As usual, God’s logic is illogical to the ways of a sin filled world. This was Jesus response to the disciples arguing amongst themselves who was the greatest among themselves. In todays world the most powerful/ influential are considered the greatest. There’s a fair amount of pride that comes with this position. But, God hates self pride. Thus he pushes us to be great by stripping our self pride away and humbling ourselves to be servants. Jesus said it is better to give than receive. The apostle Paul puts it well, “If I must boast – I will boast about God.”
A – Application
How’s my servanthood? Am I keeping my pride in check?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a servant to all. Love Will
