There’s nothing inherently wrong with fame, wealth, and power. It’s how we use it.
- Do we put it above God or do we use it to serve God?
- Do we use it to selfishly lord over people or do we use it to serve others, especially those who can’t return the favor?
You and I may never be a president or congressman, but we may be put in positions of authority, perhaps at work, perhaps as parents, perhaps as a coach, etc. Let’s use the authority to serve justly.
Thankfully, we have a God who is just, who cares for the poor and oppressed, and who died for us sinners.
Dear Jesus,
You are the King of kings and Lord of Lords. You are the almighty God. Your glory extends to the heavens. Who is man that you should be mindful of him? Yet, you are. You are holy and just, yet gracious and merciful. Thank you for caring for the least. Help me to also serve the least and seek justice for the oppressed.
Amen.
