---CHOOSING WISELY ~~

----“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master.”
---[Matthew 10:24-25/ NASB ] --

---Jesus tells us that who we choose to model ourselves after will determine the course of our lives. Who do you look to as a role model? Who are you trying to emulate? Who are you aiming to please?

If I know the answers to those questions, I can tell you what your life will look like. If your goal is to model yourself after a successful businessperson, or seek public recognition, or attain a certain salary, those things will define your life and set your limits. If your goal is to live as a disciple and servant of the Most High God, your possibilities are limited only by what He can do in you and through you. God has blessed you with talents and gifts and resources, but how you use those things is completely up to you. Will you use them to attain your own goals? Or will you humble yourself and use them in service to the King?

THINK ABOUT IT
Re-examine the questions above and even write your answers on paper. It is never too late to change your primary role model. God can redeem the time and employ you more fully in His Kingdom purposes.

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, without realizing it, I have patterned myself after others more than I have You. I want to change my thinking and follow You more wholeheartedly than ever before, emulating You and offering myself for service in Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, amen."
