The Lower Place

Roy Lessin writing in Moments of Strength, says: “a man grows tall when he takes the lowly place. He grows strong when he seeks the quiet place. He grows great when he takes the servants place.”
 
It’s true, when we learn to take the lowly job, we prepare ourselves for the bigger job. Jesus said: “Whoever is faithful in little will be given over much.”
 
When we slow down and are still, we gain strength. The Psalmist said: “In quietness and calmness is your strength.”
 
And when we serve others, we demonstrate true greatness. Jesus again: “The greatest among you is the servant of all.”
 
Hmm. These management axioms sound a lot
