Philippians 2: 3-4

Note: For the Summer we are reprinting some devotions that ran back when we were getting this site up and running. Hopefully this is new content to you, and we will get back into writing fresh devotions as our schedule allows.



3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.


Ouch. As we go through the Bible, we're going to hit on several passages that mess you up. This is another one. Paul isn't saying to never think anything good about yourself, and he definitely isn't saying that you shouldn't ever do anything that makes you happy, but we get too caught up in that sort of stuff. To sum this verse up in one sentence, it would be, don't get so caught up in yourself that you forget about anyone else. Try and find someone to help out today.

About These Devotions

If you're reading this, it means that God has a plan for your life. But in order to figure out what it is, we've got to spend time listening to what He has to say. These devotions are meant to be an appetizer to get you interested in studying the Bible for yourself. They are a collection from the youth leadership of Reality Student Ministries. If you like them, subscribe either through RSS or e-mail in the sidebar, and then leave us a note and tell us what you thought.

Thanks,

-Jeff-
