Giving Him our time & devotion will drive out the helplessness & confusion that this world is constantly giving us on a regular basis.

Jesus said that on Judgement day, many will call Him and say “Lord, Lord…” but will not enter His kingdom, even those who did great things in His name. This should cause us to think deeply. How then should we prepare? The Bible always reminds us to stay away from doing evil. And we can do this by continuously setting our hearts in seeking the Lord all the days of life. This message will direct us to what really matters to God. Ultimately, we will discover that our Father in Heaven does not look merely at our performance but with what’s in our hearts.

We want to be recognized and appreciated by our friends, family and co-workers. It's not wrong to have those feelings because God has placed in our hearts the desire to be great. Today, Jesus wants to let us know that the measurement of true greatness is by service and not status. A man of God once said, "God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you." So if you love the Lord & work faithfully to honor Him with your life, promotion is on the way! Be willing to do more for others and do not look at your position. Focus on serving others with all of your heart & you can be assured of the great reward that comes through following God.
