Philippians 2:3-4 . Complete! Baby M2's Afghan!

Philippians 2:3-4

SCRIPTURE

OBSERVATION

Paul is referring to the dissension in the church in Philippi.  He gives solutions to dissension:

APPLICATION

I recall a conversation with a non-believer who was confused about a teaching about the acronym J.O.Y. 

By placing Jesus first, we are in tune with His will for our lives.  Consequently we can live our lives confident of His guidance.

By placing others’ interest above our own we become better listeners.

What is this person truly saying?

What truly is their need?

These verses are saying,

“Let go of your own agenda.

Really listen to others.”

When we ensure that those around us know that their voice is being heard,

stress and tension are eased.

Then, the peace of God that passes all understanding enters.

PRAYER

LORD, as we go into 2017, help us to listen –really hear - the needs of those around us – even if they drive us nuts.  Give us discernment and understanding that we may meet needs that are deeper than the surface issues. 

Let us become humble servants to all Your children. 

By the way, LORD, if I am one of those who drive others nuts, help me to learn grace!  

Dear Friends, this is my truth!
