Everybody wants to be number one; we all try to get ahead.
Jesus knows how: just humble yourself and follow him instead.
We fight over things that won’t amount to a hill of beans.
But be assured God will take care of us, by all means!
The truth is, we have not because we ask not.
We end up between the haves and the have not.
Sports competition seems like it’s the order of the day.
And we wind up wondering, what’s an Athletes Pay?
God is ultimately and truly Lord over everyone.
He doesn’t want to ruin all our recreational fun.
Nevertheless, we’re all like Adam, we want to have our way.
But when you sin against the Law, you will face Judgment day.
We step on others so that we can become top dog.
Put others first, and tell them truths in a daily dialogue.
When we want to act greedily, lustfully, selfishly and want to have it all?
Seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness to honor the Lord’s call.
Do you need a new attitude to soar to a higher altitude?
Surrender to Jesus and be transformed into his similitude.
