S - Matthew 23:11 The greatest among you must be a servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
O - Jesus is talking about the hypocricy of the Pharisees and how they love to be at the head of the table and receive the respectful greetings in the marketplace. He is warning to stay clear of this type of activity and to be humble. In the end, those that are humble will be exalted.
A - I am situationally placed in my home, in my business, and at work in a place of leadership. I need to be always aware of these verses and be a servant and humble instead of lording over others and exalting myself. God wants me to be a servant leader; one who does what he teaches and leads not for my own gain. In doing this, not only will I be exalted in the long run but more importantly, God will be glorified as I give Him all the glory and honor for what He has done through me.
P - God, I pray that you be with me today and that you guide me. Help me to be a man full of humility and always willing to serve. Use me for your glory and help me to pass along these values to my children. I pray healing over my house today and I pray that you protect us all. Have your way in my life, Lord!
