Scripture: Philippians 2: [3] Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. <\/p>\n
Observation: Everything I seem to do is out of selfish ambition and vain conceit. I always put myself first in my decisions and time. I don\u2019t practice what I preach and I\u2019m not the person I truly want to be. I do want to be that person that gives and cares for the needs of others above my own, but when it comes down to it I want what I think is best for me. I can\u2019t seem to humble myself enough to bring others up.<\/p>\n
Application: My Lord died for me, God humbled himself on the cross so that I may live. I need to humble myself so others can see my Lord in me instead of this man who does things for his own desires. I need to consider my motives before setting out and doing things and make sure that I honor God. I don\u2019t need to think less of myself, but to think of myself less.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord humble your servant before your children and guide me to do what it is you desire me to do. May I put the feelings and needs of others above my own and may I glorify You above all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
