If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides so that in all things, God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
(1 Peter 4:11 NIV)
Lord, there is a great clamoring for power and glory in our world, and we often see inglorious results in someone’s unethical attempts to get to the top. Protect us from such fruitless ambition, for we know that it is only when we humble ourselves that You will lift us up higher than we could ever imagine.
Humility is the Christian’s greatest honor, and the higher men climb, the further they are from heaven. Jane Porter
