Scripture: Philippians 2:4
Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.
Thought for the Day: Sydney J. Harris was a journalist from Chicago, and he wrote: “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” I totally agree, though I would add that the turning of mirrors into windows should be the work of the church as well. The world spends a lot of time enjoying an attitude of self-absorption. Even when we think we’re looking beyond ourselves, we are in fact looking in the mirror of egoism that seeks the needs and wants of self over everyone else. The narcissist never gets tired of looking at him/herself in the mirror, but most folks will find themselves a little bored. In fact, most human beings have a deep longing to see and experience others with a spirit of vulnerability and inquisitiveness. May this day provide you an opportunity to look past the mirror of self-interest and enjoy the beauty and richness of the world around you. It’s there to be found!
Prayer: I was gifted with a mind and a heart, and I only hope that these amazing gifts are used this day to bless others as you have blessed me, O Gracious God. Amen.
