Philippians 2:3-5

"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 interest, but also to the interest of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:"

This is a great verse to remember when you start thinking way to much about yourselves. We get so caught up in our own little world that we just don't care about others around us. We need to start looking at others interest and start helping and not asking for help. One major thing is, we have got to start caring and helping others without expecting a reward, just help people because it's what Jesus did and we are called to do as He did. Christ calls us to be humble and He said the humble will receive lots of blessings, but we should not be humble and kind because we want the blessing, but because we want to please our Heavenly Father. If we will humble ourselves and put others first, they will see that humility and Christ can use that to change their lives. I try very hard to worry about others interest and not my own and I do struggle a lot with pride, but Christ helps me and when I pull through the feeling is amazing. So I challenge you to worry less about yourself and start caring more about others, because in the end, it's worth it.

To God be the Glory!

Psalm 18:1-3

"I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3

This is a great verse that encourages me in troubled times and just lets me know that God is always there. It's good to know that no matter what, God is there and He will take care of things. Jesus Christ will be our deliverer and save us from our enemies, but only if we let Him. We have to surrender everything we own physical and spiritually, for Him to be able to be our savior. God will not let us down as others do around us, that is why we must put our trust in Christ and not people. He will be our friend when we are at war against the world and He will be our fortress and shelter when trouble comes our way. It is He and He alone I trust my life with and you should too.

To God be the Glory!
