“For by the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned,” Philippians 2:3 ESV. When we are offered opportunities to do amazing things in this life, we must keep one thing in mind, these privileged moments are for the Glory of God, and not our own. Pride is a constant issue in our human condition on this earth, but as citizens of Heaven, we must renounce arrogance of any sort. My attention must be steadily focused upon glorifying God and lifting others, not self-glorification. Father, thank You for the amazing places to which You have granted entrance FOR ME. LORD, there is none like You. You alone deserve our highest praise. Help me keep my eyes continually upon You.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
