Spiritual Shift 16: From Pursing our own Interests to Pursuing the Interests of Others

July 3, 2024

The Alliance Canada

Description: We embrace the attitude of Christ, who laid down his divine glory and made himself nothing to die on our behalf. We refuse to lord it over those we serve but instead pour ourselves out for their well-being. We aren’t greedy for money but are eager to bless others. We simply long for the goodness of Christ to be experienced by others, just as we have experienced it ourselves. We receive all we need from Him, and so we joyfully lay ourselves down for others. Scriptures: Philippians 2:1-11; Mark 10:35-45; 1 Peter 5:1-4 Select one of these scriptures and meditate on it. Prayer Prompts: Take a moment to thank the Lord for setting aside His interests ahead of yours. Linger in that thought as you meditate on one of the texts below. Where has Jesus put your needs ahead of His own as He came to earth? Where is He asking you to follow His example in your own life and ministry? Ask Him to help you become like Him in this regard.
