TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant.”
Matthew 23:11, MSG

“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”
Matthew 23:11, KJV

TODAY’S WORD
Sometimes we don’t serve because it seems small and insignificant. But on the way to the big things God has in store, He will test us with small things. You have to first serve where you are with a good attitude. If you’ll excel in that small position, do more than you have to, God will open something bigger. Don’t discount staying late and helping a coworker. Don’t talk yourself out of going the extra mile in your home, serving your family with a glad heart, getting up early, making sure everything is right. Nobody may be saying thank you, and it feels like it’s unnoticed, but God sees your sacrifice. That’s what leads to new levels. Where you’re serving may feel small, but it’s key to you rising higher. It may not be the

main thing God put in your heart, but it’s leading to the main thing. You can’t skip that step and reach your destiny. Success is not an elevator; it’s a set of stairs. God leads you step-by-step. Will you serve even though it feels insignificant?

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“FATHER, thank You that Jesus came not to be served but to serve others and give His life as a ransom for many. Help me to be like Him and keep my eyes open for the people and opportunities You bring me to serve and bless with a glad heart. I believe You are taking me higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
