Good morning, Lord

50 Commandments of Jesus

34. Be a Servant—Matthew 20:26–28

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Good morning, Lord, thank You for giving Your life as a ransom for many, thank You for giving Your life as a ransom for me. Please help me live as I should, ready and willing to obediently serve as You lead and open doors of opportunity and ministry, in our neighborhood, among our community of beleivers, anywhere You lead and send us, we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
