See To It

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.  Matthew 20:26 KJV 

In these troubling times, many feel the need to act in an unpleasant manner.

They feel they have the right to give orders or make demands.

That they are in control of everyone else.

Growing up, we were taught that showing kindness towards one another was the best way to do things.

That the desire to treat each other the way we would like to be treated was not a sign of weakness.

It was a sign of respect.

That we were actually stronger if we did this, no matter the situation.

Remembering that the Lord says, that we are here to help guide and attend to the needs of one another.

Knowing that it takes a lot of  physical, mental, and social efforts on our part to show this kind of  strength.

Because we will encounter some suffering. Sufferings that we need to handle with patience.  

That by following the Word, our goodness towards all men results in better outcomes.

Outcomes that will hopefully lead them to a salvation of their souls.

In the days to come, continue to be great in this ministry.  

Showing that you are not weak, but strong.

Showing that God is in control and desires salvation for us all.

A WORD OF PRAYER

 Lord, help us to remember that we are only as great as You have set in Your Word.  That we are here to help one another no matter our status in life. Guide us as only You can Lord.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen
