Today’s Thought “Self-Contained” G. Ward Philippians 2 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have we arrived at such societal posture by our credentials alone that afforded our perspective embracing an 80/20 ratio indicative in how I got busy to become all this, along with my many possessions to which I worked hard for, to insist others do the same (i.e., honestly pervading most endeavored was from my sole effort and then, yes, God did the rest mentality)? The attitude of most have adopted a similar stand and while they’ll insist their percentages in selfishness versus selflessness are so much lower, their striving for appearances (cf. Matt.10:28) say differently. Ultimately, we’ll all unfold that all our proprietary blundering was vanity and if it remains unreconciled unto the ONE lower in the activity of our hearts while existing in HIS earth, will presence (eternally) be ours (*Matt.6:19-21)?
