"So the last shall be first, and the first last." -Matthew 20:16 (NASB)
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease." You may have heard this quote before or witnessed the application of these words in your life. It often seems like the loudest voice or the voice with the most complaints or issues steps to the forefront of discussions as the "leader", driving the conversation.
Jesus reminds us to take a different approach to leadership. We can be effective leaders by listening to and responding to the needs of others. When we become servants, responsive to the needs of others, we can become influential and effective leaders for God!
Don't be the squeaky wheel. Follow the lead of Jesus: A servant that is still leading today, 2000+ years after His birth!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the lessons that You teach me and for making me great when I choose to be a servant and respond to the needs of others in Your name. Through Jesus, my Teacher, I pray, amen.
