Philippians 2:3,4 (New International Version)

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

The theme for my weekly devotional is about to much pride and not enough humility. I am reminded every day how dangerous that pride can be. Our Heavenly Father is telling us in this scripture we are to do nothing out of selfish ambition, but to remember to consider others interests also. It is not only hard for us to do, but if you are like me, I really don't see anyone else doing this either. It is so easy to get caught up in our own little world, that we don't have a clue about anyone else. This is just not Gods' way, we have to be involved in our church and community. We must know when our neighbors are hurting and need help! When we are filled with pride, then of course, the focus will be on us and no one else. The Word tells us that "pride goes before a fall", Lets pray that God will give us an attitude the same as that of Jesus Christ, and that we will be mindful to consider others just like we are commanded to do!
