Seek to Be Humble Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself. —Philippians 2:3 Having pure motives and humility are required if you are to fulfill the command to think more highly of others than yourself. In fact it cannot happen without a willingness to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. To live in harmony you must recognize and respect the right of others to disagree with you, and you must do so with a good attitude. Humility requires that you forgive quickly and frequently...and that you not be easily offended. You cannot be self seeking, but instead you must be generous in mercy and patience. Humble yourself and follow God’s instructions and you will enjoy the wonderful benefits of obedience: peace, joy, and a powerful, victorious life.
