Good morning! How are we faithing? I have discovered one of the ways that "the peace that passes all understanding" happens. Jesus came to serve and yet he also came in power. We are to follow Jesus as servants of God. Striving to succeed in life is not necessarily sinful as long as we remember who we are and what the goals are. We all have judged and pointed fingers but servant hood teaches us to be more concerned with helping others than ourselves whereas the former promotes self interests. Do you strive for that title? Even in church? Is the title what's important to you or the serving? Do you feel like now that you have the title you are allowed or suppose to judge? Not so. We have titles only so others know who to seek out for things, not to venerate us above others. You achieved a position at work? Good for you! You are promoted? Cool! Don't let those things be a stepping stone to looking down to where you once were. In the body of Christ we all have a role and we all are on the God team. We all are to serve God and reach out to the lost, we just have different roles on the team. If you are seeking a higher position, consider the cost man because with power comes responsibility and in power positions you are held to a higher standard. Seek what God wants for you. Pray for insight and wisdom. Ask God to make the way obvious and to let your ambitions secondary to his.
Joh 12:23-28
And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name.
There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your wisdom. Lord, open our eyes to the truth. Don't allow the enemy a foothold on our thinking. Help us overcome depression. Help us look beyond ourselves. Help us be your servants and reflect you. In Jesus name, amen
