Thought for the day:
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Reference Philippians 2:3-4 NKJV
It’s so easy for us to get hung up on ourselves. We forget that others around us re affected by the things we do or say. We may overreact to things that may not have any significance. This can cause others to wonder what our problem is.
On the flip side, we may not react to something that is going on in other’s lives that may be a big deal. We may not see that they are suffering in some way that we maybe the one who can help them.
In both of these cases, this can be considered pride. Pride can keep us isolated. It can cause us to withdraw from being part of something bigger. We can end up on missing opportunities to bless someone or they blessing us. Are we losing focus?
Let’s work on seeking The Lord and get outside of ourselves. Let’s ask Him to guide us to help others seek Him. It’s not always about just giving stuff but it is always about showing Who He is.
If we are to please God, we need to allow The Holy Spirit to set us apart. We need to pursue a sinless life. We are to seek Righteousness. How do we do it? Through prayer, study, fellowship, being willing to be corrected/accountability, discipleship, and service.
It starts with Our Relationship with Jesus. If you don’t have a Relationship with Him or you need to rekindle that Relationship, do it now. Call out to Him and seek his Love and Forgiveness. It really is as hard or easy as you make it. We should look to Him daily to seek a relationship with Him. I want to encourage you to seek Him today, if you haven’t already.
If you need help, have questions or need direction in this regard, please, feel free to let me know. Maybe today you are struggling with something. Maybe you may have found yourself not as close to The Lord as you thought. We would like to help you in this through prayer and guidance.
