About Your Attitude
In the book of Philippians we read,
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:3-8.
Why do you do what you do?
Many people do what they do out of selfish ambition. They do things for the glory it gives them. They like waving and saying “look at me! Look how important I am!” All they are looking out for is themselves.
A true leader knows how to lift up those who are under him or her. A good leader is in affect the servant of those under them.
This is especially so in the Church. Leaders need to look to the interests of those they are interacting with. As the apostle Paul states,
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8.
Do you humble yourself, considering others better than yourself?
Please think about it.
