Readings and Thoughts from Today

This was a part of my reading for today. It was a good humbling passage to rejoice in. Sometimes being humbled can bring a breath of fresh air. In this world, our 'priorities' can be so skewed to filling our "desires" and "needs" that it can start to get away from us. These things are never fulfilling as Christ and the Word can be. We, I, need the prayer of belief in the Word, and that is supercedes any faith of what joy can be found in this barren world, as compared to His promises.

Matthew 20:25-28
25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,
27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
