“Samuel was a better man than Saul but he knew how to take a back seat
graciously. Barnabas was the team leader while Paul was in training but when it
came time he graciously allowed a peaceful transition in leadership. We could
all use a little second place grace! Every man should learn to play
"second fiddle" before he is offered first chair. Some are only
satisfied with solo work and others want to be the whole orchestra. Diotrophes
loved the spotlight but Jesus said to be great we had to serve and sacrifice!” S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today is for you to learn the nobility of serving in the
shadows.
Job 22:29
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. KJV
A
foreign visitor was being given a tour of Washington, D.C. one day by an
American friend of hers. She was amazed at the size of the Monuments, the
Congressional Buildings, and so forth. Finally she gazed upon the White House
itself. My, that's an incredibly large building!" she remarked. "Yes,
it's pretty big, alright." said her friend. "Big? It's huge!! About
how many people work in there?" she asked. "Oh...about half."
