The Greatest Among You Shall be Your Servant.

 THE GREATEST AMONG YOU SHALL BEYOUR SERVANT.Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
 - Matthew 23:11-12

My mom got me these cards for my birthday called "Walk with the Word". Here's Week #1 as you can see on top of the card. It comes with this cute little stand and you can put on your office desk, kitchen sink, night stand, etc.

I like this verse because it reminds me me all all the people who serve others. Think of the waitresses in a restaurant. They are representing the restaurant with their appearance, their words, their actions, their service. Nurses. Firefighters. Mayors. Police. Mail Carriers. I'm a personal/executive assistant who serves my boss. I represent him to any of our clients I contact throughout the day.

I helped out some of Kent's friends who held a conference-like gathering for many entrepreneurial friends. They had a vip dinner the night before that I helped out with; bartending, serving food, clean up, etc. The following day when Kent was up on stage as one of the guest speakers, he introduced me and I could see many people a lil' surprised when they found out the "bartender" from the previous night was also Kent's right hand man. The reason I bring up this event is because I remember I brought up scripture to the head man when he thanked me for helping out with his event: taking out the garbage and helping with the not so fun part of the event. I replied, "hey, if Jesus can wash his disciples feet on his last supper, then this is the least I can do."  I surprised myself with that reply.

I think about that quote often when there's tasks that don't sound or look appealing.

You often hear it in books, magazines, movies, on the radio, etc.: "What would you do if it was your last day on earth?"

You rarely hear the response: Wash my servants feet.

It's as simple as The Golden Rule: Treat others like you would like to be treated.

Lessons:

- Never judge a book by it's cover.

- Treat others the way you want to be treated.

- Serve, serve, serve.

- Always remember his actions during the last supper.

- Are you serving others daily?
