—Mark 9:33-37
by: Susan Bond.
Our eldest son Keith was a first grader when he learned what Jesus said about those who are last being first. Soon afterward, he arrived home from school, bright-eyed, announcing, “I came in last, Mommy!” I must have looked dumb-founded as he shared the events of his gym class that day, reminding me what Jesus said.
The scripture was stamped on Keith’s heart with permanent ink. LORD, as you move us into leadership, may our hearts be like children’s, so enraptured with you that we seek only to serve you.
