The first shall become last

Luke 22:25-27 NIV Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Jesus came to this earth not to rule but to serve mankind. Jesus did not assume authority over all, which he could have been being God himself, but instead humbled himself as a servant to all. Jesus lived out his life as he taught and likewise we need to follow.

finally being 30 years old, desire to be well off has been greater than ever. I'm not sure how much longer I have in this world, but I need to put my life in perspective being a Christ follower. Like he said... We are to serve as serving is greater than being served. The world standard is not what God intended our lives to be. It's great to be blessed monetarily but that does not mean that I sit back and squander gods blessing for myself. Service whether by material acts or gifts should be used to help our brothers and sisters. In the end... To love on others is the best thing to do.

Jesus help me to live my life more meaningful in the acts of service rather than taking the role just receiving. Help me to be a person that seeks out the heavenly riches rather than the earthly ones that rot away. Give me the desire God to forego my sinful nature of wanting to be on top for my own comfort. In the end it is you i want to please as those gifts do not rot away but I can take it with me once I die.

In Jesus name amen
