Mark 10:35 "Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. 'Teacher,' they said, 'we want you to do for us whatever we ask.'"
Two disciples, James and John ask Jesus if they can sit at his side in His kingdom. Jesus tells them no and says instead of being rulers they should be servants. Sometimes the disciples are morons! Like really? All this time with Jesus and they still haven't gotten it.
My life should be about serving others. My life isn't about me and my glory. James and John did not understand that at this point. I need to constantly remind myself that life is about others. It's not about where I sit, it's about where I serve.
Dear Jesus, help me get off my seat and not worry about my seat so I can give others a seat. Amen.
