(Jesus continued) “But many that are first will be last, and the last first.” Matthew 19:30
Lord there are so many of us that love to be first no matter what we do. It can be a good thing because much is achieved with that goal. We strive harder and often accomplish much more than others. For example those getting the ‘gold’ in the Olympics are in the limelight and well they should be because of their hard work to achieve what most of us can only watch with admiration.
But here You are saying that there are those that think they will be first in Your kingdom but they will actually be last. What they thought was important wasn’t what You knew to be important. Perhaps they sought the praise from others more than they were following what You were calling them to do.
The ‘good news’ is Lord that You have a perfect plan for our lives and You help us live out that plan as we trust and obey You moment by moment. We are grateful Lord for Your guidance and direction.
Thank You. Thank You Lord.
