Old Testament Verse

Thus says the LORD: "Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed."
Isaiah 56:1

New Testament Verse

John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now, for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented.
Matthew 3:14-15

Prayer

Jesus, thank you for the example of your humble baptism. Let your loving Spirit guide me to humbly let go when my ego wants to show off. Inspire me to maintain justice and do what is right. Give me grace to serve others according to their needs and not my own. Rather than seeking self-praise, I will praise you! Amen.
