Instead of striving for success, seek to serve.
The greatest among us is the one who serves others like Jesus did.
Are we doing the work of a servant?
Do we have a servant’s heart?

Jesus is looking for people willing to do the work of a servant, with the heart of a servant.

Don’t be too busy for God
Don’t be too busy for God, er no?

Jesus highlighted the importance of prioritizing our spiritual nourishment
In the midst of our busyness, don’t neglect the one thing that truly matters—our relationship with God

We must be purposeful in finding harmony between work/activities and spiritual growth
