Who Are You Thinking About?

Philippians 2:3-4 (Worldwide English (New Testament))

3 Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves.
4 Each one of you should not think only about himself, but about other people also.

Have you ever listened to someone and heard the word "I" used repeatedly?

Hopefully that someone isn't you.

We do a lot of things to build ourselves up. We fight for position, one up others and put people down all in the name of Christ. This is contrary to God's Word. We think we have a right or a privilege, but we really don't because God made us all the same, His children.

God wants us to be righteous because righteousness requires our actions; in this case thinking of others and humbling ourselves. The "I" becomes a "We" because our focus and actions change. God will prove His Word whether we live it or not. We will prove ourselves by living His Word.

That brings us back to the original question:

Who are you thinking about?
