Day 2: Embracing God's Plan Over Personal Ambition
Day 2: Embracing God's Plan Over Personal Ambition
Reading: John 3:27-30
John the Baptist's humble response to Jesus' growing ministry is a powerful lesson in putting God's plan above our own desires for recognition. In a world that often prioritizes personal success and acclaim, John's words remind us that our ultimate goal should be to glorify God, not ourselves. Reflect on areas in your life where you might be holding too tightly to control or recognition. How can you adopt John's attitude of "He must increase, but I must decrease" in your daily life? Ask God for the grace to find joy in seeing His work flourish, even when it means stepping aside.
