Superiority
“Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’”
Luke 10:9 (CSB)
Thought
The call of Jesus isn’t just a call to die. It’s a call to live. It’s important to note God never calls you to leave something behind unless He calls you to something better. What is that better thing? It’s Jesus. He’s superior to anything and everything in the world. When we make Jesus lesser than the things of this world, we’ve reduced Jesus and failed to see Him for who He is!
Prayer Practice
Pause
Think of all the things you want in this world. As you think of those things, say in your heart and mind, Jesus is better. Reflect on the great truth that if you have Jesus, you have everything.
Rejoice
Celebrate that your King is not like other kings, using their servants for their selfish gain, but instead, uses His power to love and serve others. Thank Jesus that there is no one like Him.
Ask
Ask God to awaken your heart to deeper levels of devotion and passion. Ask Him to give your spiritual windshield wipers to remove anything that blocks your view of Him.
Yield
Ask God how to create better spiritual rhythms that allow you to keep Him at the center of your life. Yield to whatever He says, and don’t waiver. Make a commitment that once He speaks, you’ll faithfully follow!
