Pick Me, Pick Me

Daily Reading—2 Samuel 4-6 / Luke 23:1-26
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
When choosing teams for any sport, if you get around a bunch of kids, you will always hear the same thing. Pick me, pick me! Everyone wants to feel needed and special. Often, you will hear someone who is belittling their childhood say, “I was always the last one chosen for sports and games.”
Jesus tells us not to be concerned with who is first or last. Using Himself as an example, He asks, Who is greater, people at a table eating or servants serving the table? We might all say those who are dining. Then Jesus says, But I am here and am serving. None of us is greater than Jesus. Being a servant does not make us last; it is who we serve that matters.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Is serving God a chore for you or a privilege?
