“It’s not about me”

Morning: Psalms 26, 28; Deuteronomy 6:16-25; Hebrews 2:1-10

Evening: Psalms 36, 39; John 1:19-28

When people over-estimate their own importance, we say, “It’s not about you!”  But there is no equivalent for when we over-estimate someone else’s importance or put them on a pedestal.  People thought John the Baptist was the Messiah.  John quickly set them straight, saying in effect: “It’s not about me … There’s someone here you don’t know. I’m not even worthy to hold his coat.  What I’m doing is about him.”  How easily it is for me to get caught up in my own ego and priorities and forget to point beyond myself to one much greater than I.
