The only one that deserves to be served came to serve us!
Mark 10:45 'For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.'
God's pattern in scripture is that a person must first be a servant before God exalts them. 1 Peter 5:6 'Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time'. This was true of Joseph, Moses, and David. As an example, Moses was under God's hand as a Shepherd for forty years before God sent him to deliver the Jews from Egypt. So instead of trying to climb the ladder of success, we need to have a Servant's heart! Seek the Kingdom of God first as it says in Matthew 6:33 'But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.'
