Perhaps you have had the experience of dealing with someone with little authority that clung to it like a cat on a falling tree. The person won’t budge for love or mercy and seem blind to reasoning. The writer of proverbs put it this way.
"Under three things the earth quakes; And under four, it cannot bear up: Under a slave when he becomes king, And a fool when he is satisfied with food, Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress" (Proverbs 30:22-23).
Jesus told his disciples, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.”
Jesus demonstrated his point by dying on the cross for our sins. Oh the joy of serving God who loves us. Let’s determine to let others know our love through our service to them.
