“The Last Shall Be First, and The First Shall Be Last”   Life is a very precious gift from God. How we use the gift is very important and vital. Some persons want to achieve a sense of honor through reward, accomplishment and achievement. Jesus teaches that true honor comes from serving in God’s kingdom to help and aide those in need. To know this kind of grace we must first serve rather than be served. Jesus was called “the suffering servant” from the way He lived His life. God calls us to be in service, and then we will be recognized.

God wants to bless you, so that you can be a blessing. His grace is sufficient for us. God is powerful and sovereign over His creation. We must realize that we are here to serve rather than be served. God wants us to step out in faith and do what we can to help one another. When we do, we realize that being at the head of the line is not important. What is important is making sure all receive the grace of God. “The last shall be first, and the first shall be last” in God’s timing and reality. Surrender your selfishness and feel God’s presence. Thank God He cares and loves us all.
