Philippians 2:3. Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.
As believers, we are called to have the same mindset as Christ. We are called to prioritize the needs of others over our own desires and to submit ourselves to God’s will humbly. This action involves putting aside our pride and ego and recognizing that we are all equal in the eyes of God.
Humility is not easy. It requires us to let go of our desires and ambitions and surrender ourselves to God’s plan for our lives. It requires us to be willing to serve others, even when inconvenient or uncomfortable. But as Paul reminds us in this passage, it is through humility that we find true joy and fulfillment.
Ultimately, humility is a recognition of our limitations and a willingness to rely on God’s strength and grace. As we strive to imitate Christ’s humility, let us remember that we are not alone in this journey. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can continue to grow in humility and become more like Christ with each passing day.
MOVING FORWARD: What do you need to give to God so you can walk more humbly?
