Some people lead their lives by making a point of not being like other people, focusing on someone else’s negative example, instead of seeking a positive role model. In their pride, they determine that they will never be like the person who made a negative impact on them. Doing this doesn’t bring about Jesus-like transformation, it only succeeds in fixing our thoughts on what is negative. Instead, God asks us to focus on Jesus. Meditating on who He is, we become like the One we behold, and grow to be humble, selfless, God-exalting leaders, following Him as our leader.
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.—Hebrews 3:1
Prayer: God, fix our thoughts on Jesus. Let us clearly see Him, Your humble, faithful servant, so that more and more, we look like Him, and lead like He did. In His name we pray, amen.
