Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or
vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves.
Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but
every man also on the things of others.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took
upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Truth.
How often do we
esteem others better than ourselves?
Truthfully think about that for a little bit. We get so wrapped up in ourselves that we
seldom esteem anyone better than ourselves. We fight to prove we are worth
something, that we are good, caring, well meaning, kind people all the while we
are striving towards that end we forget to truly be good, caring, well meaning,
and kind people. We lose ourselves in our obsession of ourselves. We think we are automatically belittling
ourselves when we esteem others better than ourselves. God, please help me
learn to esteem others better than myself, help me to realize that we are not
to be first in our own thoughts, but have the mind Jesus has, a mind that puts
others before self. I need this, Lord, I need to learn so much. Rid me of my
selfishness, please. Let there be less of me and so much more of YOU.
Guide me Lord in all
truth, in YOUR truth only. All glory,
praise, and honor unto You, my Savior!
