Mar 9:33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
Mar 9:34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
Mar 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

Humility and servanthood. Not a combination familiar to the flesh life. Only by God’s grace, Christ’s life in us can we pull off that walk.

Unbelievers are watching closely….and another scripture comes to mind. Our recent journey into faith and trust like we’ve never known before has been observed by many. May we be found continuously faithful to bring honor and glory to the Lord, by the strength and power He gives us, not by our own might (which by the way is very miniscule ).

1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
