Thought of the Day !!

Then James and John , the sons of Zebadee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
Mark 10 35 (NIV)

Jesus has just told these guys that he was going to be betrayed, tortured and put to death when they get to Jerusalem (which, by the way, is where they are heading at this moment). So what do they do? They ask for a favor.

We live in a society of want, want, want. It's not that we have great needs usually. But we want so much. I want to buy this. I want to eat that. I want God to do this for me, and so on. How many of us are always asking God for favors, while forgetting to ask what we can do for Him?

In the love of Christ,
