Matthew 20:26
Have you ever felt unqualified for what God is calling you to do? Saul didn’t seek out greatness—he was just looking for lost donkeys. Yet, through this mundane mission, God called him to lead a nation. This unexpected moment reminds us that divine purpose often begins in ordinary places. Saul didn’t see himself as king, but God did. That’s the mystery of calling—it often finds us before we feel ready. God values humility over ambition. Leadership, in His eyes, isn’t about status but service. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” That kind of leadership is rare but world-changing. Whether you’re leading a team, a family, or simply yourself, choose the servant's way. Start with small acts of kindness and integrity. In doing so, you may discover, like Saul, that God is writing a much bigger story through your simple steps of obedience.
