Verse of the Day June 20

Human beings have long been interested in and admired whoever is the greatest. It’s good to make the most of our ability and potential, but the hunger for prominence is a temptation. Even the disciples asked Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Perhaps they were hoping to be part of Jesus’ answer. Jesus disappointed their hopes by placing a child in their midst and telling them unless they changed and a became humble like a child, they’d never enter the kingdom of heaven, much less, be the greatest. This week Pastor Doug will share devotions about being humble like a child.

Today’s reading is Romans 12:1-21, Don’t Think Too Highly of Yourself.

The Verse of the Day is Romans 12:3,

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
