What it leads to…
“Can you serve your boss and others at work, helping them to succeed and be happy, even when they are promoted and you are overlooked? Can you work to make others look good without envy filling your heart? Can you minister to the needs of those whom God exalts and men honor when you yourself are neglected? Can you pray for the ministry of others to prosper when it would cast yours in the shadows?….But the Christian serves with humility because it leads to Christlikeness.”
- Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, ch. 7, pp. 122
Philippians 2:3(English Standard Version)
Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Colossians 3:22-24
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Thank you, brother.
