Devotional
Do you remember as a child, playing my dad is better than your dad. It would start out with one child bragging about their dad, and each child would try to out do the other. The disciples were trying to out do each other. They wanted to know how was the greatest. Imagine their faces when Jesus said "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
 
Scripture Reference
Mark 9:34-35
But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."

Action Point
Often times we get caught up in trying to be the greatest. The fact is, when we are serving others, instead of ourselves, people will see us at our best. Find Joy in serving others. Take the time to put others first. It is only then that you will find true greatness.
