Phillipians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. It's hump day, or technically speaking Wednesday...and we've had a few days making many decisions and the question is are you encouraged or discouraged to go on with (_fill in the blank )when you look in the mirror ?
Depending on your answer you may need to really take a deep look into your motives. The scripture says DO NOTHING, that's right...DO ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOTHING out of selfish ambition or so that Y-O-U get noticed. That's right people......it's not about you. Right now many of you are preparing for or had your evaluations and this is a very timely devotion, as it points to the fact that we may have strayed away as to WHY we are working where we work. We may have even forgot why are we married to____________________, or committed to doing ____________________. But WHY can't we DO SOMETHING or SOMETHINGS so that we can some recognition or to make ourselves look good........?
Because if we remember that the way to TRUE HAPPINESS & Contentment is found in the scriptures before verses 3-4: Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. See our daily goal should be MAKING HIS JOY COMPLETE....OUR DOINGS of promoting UNITY....SHOULD BE TO GLORIFY GOD'S MISSION for US BEING @ our jobs, IN OUR MARRIAGES, @ Our Churches, in OUR RELATIONSHIPS.....you name it. Now let us pray, regain our focus, and make His JOY Complete TODAY! LGLP
