Where You Lead

Who’s Number One?

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

Galatians 5:13

Do you remember how Jesus washed the feet of his disciples after the Last Supper? Jesus, who they called Lord and Master, knelt down to wash their feet, to serve them.

That is exactly what God expects from us as well. We are to serve one another in love. If I believe that I am better than someone else, by virtue of my money or intelligence or whatever, how will I serve this other person?

I know there are teachings of other faiths or modern day “religions” that proclaim the person to be the ultimate. That kind of thinking feeds into today’s “Me first” and “It’s all about me” mentality. God’s word, though, tells us that we are not number one, that we are here to serve one another.

I think it’s time for me to step outside of my comfort zone and begin to really help others. I’ve put off for too long the work I need to do to reach out and serve those in need of God’s love. Today, I will recommit myself to service for God.
