DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JULY 7, 2013
LET NOTHING BE DONE THROUGH THIS!
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Phillipians 2:3
We have no wisdom, or beauty, or knowledge outside of Christ. He alone is our righteousness and our reason for being. Without Him we are nothing. So we certainly must not operate in strife or vainglory. For we know that the man of pride must always strive because he wants to be first, and praised, and promoted. But the child of God rests in the peace of Christ Jesus, with full assurance that our victories have already been accomplished. We carry the cross of Christ within us, and we are dead to the glory of the world. The world's praises are superficial and temporal. But the praises of Heaven are eternal.
Child of God, let no man deceive you. To be vain is folly.
Today, Let us humble ourselves and remark and take note of the wonderful accomplishments of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us lift each other up, edifying the whole body.
