Devotion for Saturday, March 7, 2026

“Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all” (Mark 9:35).

Does it really matter where we are in God’s kingdom?  We are whom the Lord is making us to be.  It is like arguing with the potter when you are a lump of clay.  Position does not matter, for we all are positioned to be with the Lord.  What more could you want?  Be guided then by what the Creator is doing and not by the insanity of this self-seeking world that wants position and status.

Lord, Help me to understand that You alone are the Lord of my life.  You have wonderfully created each one of us.  Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to see through the lies of this age in order that I may realize that Your purpose is already unfolding in me.  Great or small does not matter, for You have great purpose for all whom You have made.  Lead me into the life for which I have been created.

Lord Jesus, I want to be with You in Your kingdom.  Place me where You will and by the power of Your Holy Spirit, lead me to not worry as the world does about where I am placed.  Lead me to live in the righteousness You give and seek You above all things.  Guide my heart and soul to seek first Your kingdom knowing that all that is needed will be added.  Thank You Lord for the invitation You have given me.  Help me to belong to You.  Amen.
