Act In Humility
Act In Humility || Philippians 2:1-3 || Carolyn J. Satcher

There is no greater example of humility in the entire Bible than we can find in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul writes of Christ in Philippians that we should “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Phil 2:3-4).

He poured his life into helping Paul and the church so much that he nearly died from it. He literally risked his life in order to be Paul’s servant and right-hand man. He was humble.
Some of the traits of an humble person are:
Being humble is the best characteristic of anyone. People will appreciate one who thinks more of others than themselves.
Prayer: Lord, please keep me humble so that I may please you and love others as I love myself. Amen.
