Philippians 2:3-5 (Deb's Post)

Title: True Humbleness

S- Scripture "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interest of others your attitude should be the same as Jesus! Philippians 2:3-5

O- Observation: Don't be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourself. Be more concerned with them then yourself, this is what Jesus did and we should try to be more like him (selflessness)

A- Application: This scripture reminds me that it is not always about me and that I should be more humble. Sometimes I might be satisfied with the things that aren't happening in my life right now, but I need to start appreciating everything that God has done for me. I also shouldn't be jealous of what someone else has that I dont have. And lastly I should put others before myself.

P- Prayer: Dear God please help me to be more humble and more like Jesus. Give me a peaceful heart that I might love others more and begin to put their needs before mines. In the name of Jesus Amen.

  1. Why is it that certain people's needs are easier to be humble about? It just gives us more chance to glorify God when we don't really want to... Plus, I think He starts to change our hearts if we make an attempt.
