How do you measure greatness?

Morning: Psalm 80; Isaiah 58:1-12; Galatians 6:11-18

Evening: Psalms 77, 79; Mark 9:30-41

Do you remember how Cassius Clay, before he was Mohammed Ali, used to declare, “I am the greatest”? If your measure of greatness is whether you can knock everybody else out and you can, or if it is about being the wealthiest and you are, then you are the greatest by those very limited measures. Alternatively, you may measure human greatness by actions that transform the world from pride and greed to ensuring a spacious place of welcome for all. Then, greatness will be measured only by service to that goal ... and by service to all, without exception.
