The character of our heart is revealed when we are passed over for a position we desperately wanted. If our only desire is to serve the Lord and see His kingdom advance, then it won’t matter who gets promoted or who receives the glory. But if we harbor a secret desire to build a monument to ourselves, it will be nearly impossible for us to let our dream die.
“…A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven…He must increase, but I must decrease.”
— John 3:27, 30 (KJV)
Lord Jesus, forgive us when we mistakenly attempt to build our kingdom rather than Yours. Deliver us from fleshly ambition. May we decrease that You may increase. In Your holy name we pray, amen.
