But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:25-26 NKJV
Devotional Prayer
Greatness is found in serving. Lord Jesus, I desire to be great in Your eyes so please deliver me from lording it over others or seeking power to exalt myself. Thank You for opening my eyes to understand the value that You place in serving my family, employer, co-workers, friends, and our heavenly Father. Give me a servant's heart like Yours that is humble and meek. Use me today to lift up someone who is in need of support. In Your mighty name I pray. Amen.
