DAY 91, MATTHEW 20-21

Good morning!  Our names are Jack Stockman, age 8, and Grandpa Wallace, and we were asked to give a devotional thought from Matthew, chapters 20 and 21.

KEY VERSES:  Matthew 20:27-28

²⁷And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

²⁸Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

REFLECTIONS:  I asked Jack if he ever did anything that would be considered being a servant.  He said he didn’t think so.  After talking for a while I asked him if he was ever asked to take up the offering in junior church.  He said yes.  I also asked if he ever prayed in junior church, and he said yes.  I then explained to him that whenever we are asked to do something for God and we do it with a willing heart, that is being a servant.  It is not important to be the most important person but to be the most willing servant of God.

APPLICATION:  Jack and I talked about being a servant of God or being “the chief among you,” verse 27.

We both decided it is not important to be the most important person, but to be the most willing servant of God.

Thank you for being a part of the 100-Day Challenge.  Thanks for reading, and you have a blessed day!

In Christ,

(Grandpa) Pat Wallace and Jack Stockman
