To point to the One who is greater than I am

Morning: Psalm 37:1-18; Deuteronomy 7:6-11; Titus 1:1-16

Evening: Psalm 37:19-42; John 1:29-34

“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I” - Psalm 61 prays that I will overcome my egotism and realize how incomplete my understanding really is. John, pointing to Jesus, admits that now he must give way to this One, who is greater. When I strive to be ‘the greatest’, I miss an opportunity ... to point beyond myself to the One who is greater than I am, the One who is before all things and before all time, the One who can help me find my true self and help me set right the things I must.
