AFFIRMATION

Many who are first will be last, and the last first. (Matthew 19:30; Mark 10:31)

Whoever wishes to become great among others must become their servant, and whoever wishes to be first among them must be their slave. (Matthew 20:26–27; Mark 10:43–44)

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14)

Pause to reflect upon these biblical affirmations. 

THANKSGIVING 

Shout for joy, O heavens!
Rejoice, O earth!
Break out into singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted. (Isaiah 49:13)

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
My soul will be joyful in my God.
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation
And arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)

Pause to offer your own expressions of thanksgiving. 

CLOSING PRAYER

The Lord will command His lovingkindness by day,
And His song will be in the night—
A prayer to the God of my life. (Psalm 42:8)

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone does wonderful things.
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
May the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen. (Psalm 72:18–19)
