The Good of Others

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10: [24] Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

Observation: Most of the time I’m seeking what is best for me. I will look out for my wife and try to give her the best, but others get what is left over. I should still put Teri first but then others before myself. I know when I do for others it honors God and God looks out for me and takes care of me so there is no reason to look out for myself. I want to be noticed and show everyone how good or important I am, but God calls me to look out and serve others.

Application: Make it a point to find people and compliment them on something they did or something I admire about them. Take the focus off me and focus on others to honor God.

Prayer: Dear Lord open my eyes today to see how special you have created others. May I be a blessing and touch someone’s heart today.
