Sometimes there are news articles that are worth repeating! Outgoing Governor Rick Perry completed a longtime tradition, by handing off to his successor Gov-elect Greg Abbott a Bible marked with a certain passage. This particular Bible is named after the 28th governor of Texas, Pat Neff, who served from 1921-1925 and Pat Neff went on to lead Baylor University for 15 years. Perry marked in the margin a hand-written note to Governor Abbott to emphasize these verses: Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your servant - - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many! Matthew 20:25-28 . Heavenly Father, we THANK YOU for Godly men who govern our state by the Word of the Living Lord! We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men and women are created equal and we are endowed by our Creator with certain rights and responsibilities. Just as our Lord has taught us, we should seek to SERVE and not so much to be served. We PRAY in agreement with Your Word which says we are to BE imitators of Christ Jesus! We want to do the ‘greater things’ than Jesus did as He walked among us. John 14:11-17 Lord, it is Your Kingdom and we serve an AWESOME GOD! Lord, it is Your Power, the same Power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is in US and greater is He that is in us, than any demon that is in this world. Lord, it is Your Love, as we work, we work unto the Lord, as we live, we share the Love of Jesus with everyone in our circles of friends and family and co-workers. Let the Peace of God that passes all of our understandings, keep our hearts and our minds in the knowledge and the LOVE of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen and Amen!
