More Like the Master
Welcome to Verse of the Day!
Today's Bible Verse: John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease." (ESV) Today's Inspiring Thought: Less of Me In most of my troubles, I find that my biggest problem is me. This excerpt from a hymn by Charles H. Gabriel (1906) makes a great little prayer for asking the Lord to increase in us, that we might decrease: More Like the Master More like the Master I would ever be, More of His meekness, more humility; More zeal to labor, more courage to be true, More consecration for work He bids me do. More like the Master is my daily prayer; More strength to carry crosses I must bear; More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in; More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win. More like the Master I would live and grow; More of His love to others I would show; More self-denial, like His in Galilee, More like the Master I long to ever be. |
Makes me think of the question from the 12 x 12 that god nudged me to place in my kit of spiritual tools...[which I admit I truly need to utilize a lot more often]....
pausing to ask myself..."WHAT WOULD THE MASTER DO?" |
