Questions for Philippians 2:4
12) It’s visible everywhere, truthfully. It’s all about feelings and doing what you need to do to take care of yourself, which is great, but it’s when people use that as an excuse to put themselves above others. Self-sufficiency is celebrated, too. Social media is all about yourself it seems. I think our culture has been moving away from relying on God for awhile, so they promote self-reliance instead. Being self-reliant is the antithesis of Jesus. We belong in community, not isolated.
13) Serving others shows the world that it’s not just about yourself, and Jesus showed us another way. It’s helped me to serve God and His will and not my own. I wish I had learned more about Jesus and His will for my life. It’s so hard when you are young and busy to put things into perspective. I wish I had put others first more often than not.
14) When Jesus is first, our slights fall away and we see people for who they really are. I strive to see people as Jesus sees them. I strive to respond with forgiveness and humility in every situation. Lord, let me see others as you see them and always strive to put the needs of others above my own. Let me always be humble and respond in such a way. Let me assume the good in people before jumping to conclusions.
