Place of Honor
Mark 9:35 (NLT) … “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”

Worldview principles are the complete opposite of Kingdom principles, particularly regarding positions. In the world, people speak of teamwork, but there is an underlying motive to be independent of everyone else on the team in order to make a move to a higher position. However, Kingdom principles have a relationship foundation that commands people to be interdependent of each other. Hence, everyone mutually serves one another. In this position of a servant, there comes with it the honor of putting someone else before yourself. This equates to being in a top position for Jesus Christ. People in high places who say it’s lonely at the top feel that way because in following worldly principles they didn’t take the time to help other people climb with them along their way to the top. Have vision for where God wants to take you, but remember that you’ll be all alone if you try to get there by yourself. Selah.
