Devotion November 13,

Philippians 2:3-4 “^3. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ^4. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others.

As the apostle Paul began building the structure of Jesus’s Church, he also began building the character of those who would be called Christians. Through the overall theme of love, Paul shares his experience with Jesus in chapter 1 and then further expounds on his desire to see that same experience within the hearts and lives of the Philippians.

What We Should Know

Our world today has become so self-focused that we have lost sight of the needs of others to the point of forsaking the needs of our neighbors. We have largely succumbed to political pressures of this world and forgotten many of the basic values of being a Christian. Paul’s message to the church at Philippi was meant for us today.
