Matthew 20 and Psalms 114

Psalms 114: 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

Matthew 20: 26-28 Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.

 Grasping the fear of the Lord and making him number one in each step has been an important step during my time at the hospital as a elective student. This requires me to be away from sin, and hating what is evil and having no fear of man, but recognizing JC as my Lord.

Secondly in Matthew, JC tells us how we can get to the top. There is a paradoxical truth that we see so often in the bible, be generous to be plentiful, bless your enemy, die to yourself in order to live. However I think it is important that we don't simply serve to get to the top. I am reminded about the verse that God gave me, Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it (Matthew 10) I believe this needs to be a constant requirement in my walk with God.
