S - Matthew 20:26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
O - Jesus is talking with the disciples about who will be chosen to sit in the place of honor in heaven. He basically said that if you want that seat you need to be a slave, not even just a servant.
A - Serving others is not only important but it is essential. A slave is someone who is legally bound to another person. Being a slave means giving up every personal right and luxury to assist and aid another person. This is the way that we are to live this life. To live a life full of personal sacrifice and serving others just as Jesus did. I am going to look for opportunities to do just this throughout this day.
P - God, I pray that you give me opportunities today to serve and bless others. Help me to keep my eyes focused on you and others around me instead of just on myself and my family. I pray that you bring healing into our house and that you protect us and keep us safe. Be with me and my family and guide us and lead us. Use my thoughts, words, and actions today to be a blessing to others and to show others your good love.
