He
Must Become
Greater
And Greater,
And
I Must Become Less And Less.
Scripture
John
3
30
He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
Observation
Do
you want to be successful in life?
If
we put God first, others second, and “ourselves” dead last on a
daily basis then we will be successful in God's eyes! We will make
Him smile!
My
tendency and maybe your tendency too is to get those 3 out of order!
And
to be honest it is a daily struggle for Eddy Williams to keep those 3
in the right order –
“Me
– Myself – and I” always seems to want to move up to that
number one spot!
Matthew
22:37-39
37 Jesus replied,
“‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your
soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest
commandment. 39 A second is equally
important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
Mark
9:35
35
He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said,
“Whoever wants to be first must take last place and
be the servant of everyone else.”
Mark
10:43-45
43 But among you
it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be
your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be
first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve
others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
2
Corinthians 10:18
When
people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important
thing is for the Lord to commend them.
Application
It
is my desire to be number 3 today.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, nobody knows me better than You. Help me keep You in the
number one spot in my life. Help me to think of other people as more
important than myself and when I get things out of that order please
let me know that I am messing up!

Bible Reading: Isaiah 65,66; Psalms 62; John 3
