Scripture Union Daily Guide 7th August 2025 Outline
The mother of these two brothers deserves some credit. She wanted the best for her children and actively promoted their welfare with the highest authority. However, she committed three serious errors. First, they ignored the other potential candidates for the positions. Being only too human, the ten had strong opinions on the matter (Matthew 20:24)!
Second, although her sons were evidently well qualified (Matthew 20:22-23), they were clueless as to the Job Description (Matthew 20:27), and so had a wrong concept about the demands of the job. Besides, they all had no idea about the tragedy which the Enterprise would soon encounter (Matthew 20:18-19). Third and most important, they had no idea of Who was the real Boss, and His ultimate agenda (Matthew 20:23b,28).
What is your own ambition in life? What ambition do you have for your son or your daughter? Even when it comes to doing God’s work, we can easily get it wrong! That is why we should not make our plans and ask God to bless it but ask God to show us His own plans.
Food for Thought
“And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them” (Jeremiah 45:5).
Insight
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Ask for grace to identify God’s will for your life and make this your sole ambition.
