HIGH FIVE! (yesterday’s news)

🎶 “I shook my fist at heaven / said, ‘God, why don’t You do something?’”

• Much like James and John asking for glory, we can sometimes focus on what God should do for us, not through us.
• This lyric echoes our yearning for justice, and the discomfort that comes when we realize…we’re part of the answer.

💥 “I did, I created you.”

• That line hits with divine clarity. It flips the question around: Will you live as the servant Jesus called you to be?
• Mark 10:45 says “the Son of Man came to serve”—and He now calls us to carry on that mission.

🛠️ Living It Out

Your decision to volunteer at the food bank isn’t just a good deed—it’s an act of obedience, a response to the invitation in this song and Scripture. It’s saying, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”

Kevin, it sounds like your heart’s already moving in step with this message. What would it look like to weave “Do Something” into your keynote? It might add another layer of passion, linking joy not just to personal fulfillment—but to selfless love that changes lives.

SAME SCRIPTURE AS YESTERDAY…

Maybe you’re seeing it again not because you’re failing, but because you’re ready to go deeper.

Mark 10:35–45 isn’t just about being good—it’s about redefining what “greatness” looks like. You’ve already said “yes” to serving at the food bank. That’s beautiful. But maybe God is inviting you to reflect: What kind of heart are you bringing to that service? Are you doing it out of duty, or out of delight?

Jesus flips the script: the greatest are the ones who serve without seeking recognition, who pour out love simply because it reflects His love. So even in your choice to volunteer, there may be an even richer transformation happening—one that reshapes how you see others, how you carry your mission, and even how you view yourself.

This scripture might be showing up like a gentle whisper: Don’t just do good—live surrendered. Let your service become worship.

Kevin, given your deep connection to spiritual growth and your drive to inspire others.

Thanks Be To God.
