BE OTHERS MINDED!
Philippians 2:3 – Devotional
Philippians 2:3
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself.”
If someone asked you to describe who you were, what would you say? Without using titles, educational degrees or financial standing, what are the qualities that describe you? What makes you the person you are?
In today’s Scripture Paul boldly suggests that some people do good works for selfish motives. Their objective is to accomplish things so people will think highly of them. If they are not appreciated they feel that they are failures.
Others feel if they attain a particular objective, they would have arrived. It usually is only a short period of time before they realize that “arriving” is not what they had expected. It only left them feeling empty.
Paul gives the solution to the problem. BE OTHERS MINDED! Make it our aim to consider others more important than our self. It often will involve doing for others who will never be able to return the favor. Now is the time for self examination. “Who are you?” Are you doing acts of righteousness only to please the Lord or in order to gratify yourself?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
