Reflection

“Leadership is found in becoming the servant of all.” –Richard Foster

Prayer

Servant Lord,

When you knew all authority on heaven and earth had been given to you, you stooped low and washed your disciples’ feet. You then told them, and us, that this is the pattern of leadership that should define our lives, too. Help us this day, to follow your example and discover the joy of your upside-down kingdom—where the last are first, the humble are exalted, and those who are held in lowest esteem by human eyes are the first to be blessed in yours. May we all find grace today, to lift others up in words and deeds, serving one another as your hands and feet in the world today. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time to recall a significant servant leader who made an impact upon my life. Consider sending them a word of gratitude.
