Busy, busy morning.
Good thing that the Morning Devotion message shown me this morning is so concise and compelling.
“…humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 15:33).
It’s worldly to want the praise of men, particularly if it has not been preceded by putting others first.
Jesus was the perfect role model of serving others, regardless of whether they were serving Him.
He knew that His Father would bestow honor on Him when the time was right. And Jesus knew it wasn’t His job to make sure that He received the praise He deserved.
Instead, God sent Jesus to seek, to serve and to save.
Even to the point of washing the feet of people who would soon betray Him.
Listen, we honor God when we serve others apart from whether they praise us.
Humility before honor, my friend.
That’s the agenda that God wants to see in our hearts and minds.
He’ll honor us when the time is right.
Please don’t fall into the trap of doing for others only after they’ve fed your ego.
As always, I love you
Martin
