Phil 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.”-
Giving up our right to be right. Sometimes standing for what we think is right is not worth the division it will create. Compromising our opinion in matters that are not eternal is not a sin. Moving forward with God often will require us to put our own idea on the shelf, listen to others and help implement. God’s work is often hinder because of someone’s ego or pride. They are seekers of vainglory, always wanting the preeminence. A believer who is walking close to God will be sensitive to the needs of others and will give preference to those his/she works with. Lowliness of mind is to put aside what we want, take the back seat at let someone else drive. A humble spirit will take a stand for what is right in a spirit of meekness.
