Today's Bible Verse:
Matthew 20:16"So the last will be first, and the first last." (ESV)
Today's Inspiring Thought: The Last Place
Here Jesus is teaching another one of the great kingdom paradoxes. Being a servant of God means taking the last place in line, not the first. If we spend our time and energy seeking a position of prominence, we're much more likely to be demoted. But if we always seek the last place, God has promised us a future promotion."If I follow the counsel of Jesus and take the last place, I won't be shocked when others put me there, too." --Brennan Manning
