War Blogs

In his post to blogs4God this morning, MeanDean reminded me of a Blogsticker I created several months ago. I amended a line from Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar. At that time it was just an idea that popped into my head. Now it sounds like an appropriate category title.

I need to google this, but I have something in the back of my mind about a Frederick Forsyth novel title.

John 13:3-5

Verse:
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. -John 13:3-5

Thought:
As you approach times of concern, worry and stress in your life, where do your thoughts turn? Inward to what lies ahead or outward to the needs of others? Christ, knowing that the experience of the cross lay immediately before him, bends down and ministers to a basic physical need of his disciples. I always see this event as a wonderful example of servant behaviour.

Lord, help me to be responsive to the needs of others, even when difficulties of my own life try and overwhelm me.
