A Daily Devotion for Wednesday, March 29

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Do I value others, in humility, above myself? This is a tall order. In our culture, this concept is not always held up as desirable. But we are called to be in the world, not of the world. I think it takes practice to always put others first. It is not automatic or natural in a lot of cases. But I certainly know people who are very good at it. I can do better, and start by remembering these words of Paul.

Holy Lord, I am hearing this message today. I will look for opportunities to value others and put them first, above my own comfort and convenience. Lead me, Lord. Amen
