Favouring the Humble
Like grass, we are fragile and yet God’s greatest when we serve others.
Proverbs 3:34
Towards the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favour.
.
Luke 22:24-26
A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. But he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves.

Words of Grace for Today –

We have our ways in this world of recognizing who is the greatest among us.
Oh, they are the charmers and spinners, the powerful and wealthy, the famous and infamous.
Lent is a yearly journey to remember that God sees the us differently in this broken world.
God favours the humble and scorns the charmers and spinners, the powerful and wealthy, and the famous and infamous alike.
Jesus shows us again God’s perspective as we turn, as we repent, away from ways that do harm and cause suffering to God’s ways of serving one another by seeing, knowing, and loving each other as God sees us, precious all.
