Matthew 20:27-28. And whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Ps 131:132, [133]*134,135 | | Numbers 23:;11-26 | Romans 8:1-11 | Matthew 22;1-14.
From the Archives; July 25, 1946
From the human viewpoint, the training given to James was wasted; all that time of discipleship with Jesus, all the teaching and example, all the understanding of the inner circle, and then to be killed within his real ministry of leadership had just begun. No labor in God's name is in vain.
James once wanted prominence and position. He obtained them but not as he had imagined. He became a saint rather than Jesus' grand vizier. And he became so not by his ability or by pulling wires but by witnessing and suffering for Jesus.
We may long for greatness, and we can have it: the greatness trust upon us by those we loved while they ill-treated and persecuted us.
Pray for the Dioceses of Makurdi (Nigeria) and Thila (Kenya)
MOVING FORWARD: What may be holding you back? Offer it up to Jesus. Ask him for direction and peace.
Dear Lord,
Give us the strength to meet our day.
Help us to see that the challenges you present
are the ones you want us to keep.
Keep our eyes on grace
In Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
