Jesus, the Greatest of all Leaders, the King and Lord of all said,
"But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." (Matthew 23: 11,12)
And He practised what He preached when He "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10: 45)
Though "being in very nature God,
(Christ Jesus) did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 6-11)
I know I'll see the Silver Lining in due time, because the Son is shining always behind the dark clouds, and the Prince of Peace reigns over all.
