Jesus continued teaching. Jesus said, "Be careful of the
teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes
that look important. And they love for people to show respect
to them in the market places. They love to get the most
important seats in the synagogues. And they love to get the
most important seats at the feasts."

-- Mark 12:38-39 (ERV)
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, make my soul blanch at the thought of egotistically seizing the
limelight for myself and parading around like I'm something important.
Make me into a useful servant in your Kingdom who cares more about
helping the broken than I do about being recognized. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
