Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Don’t do it! Sometimes your flesh wants to put the spotlight on you and relish in the praise. But Paul says instead, put that spotlight on someone else and consider them as more important than you. You might be surprised at how much it helps you learn humility.

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.
Each day we face trials. Maybe you got a flat tire on the way to work, or you lost your job, or maybe this week you can’t afford to fill your car with gas. Whatever trial you’re facing today, just know God sees you and that He has a crown ready to give you when you face this trial steadfast in your faith!

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
The reason we don’t need to fear has nothing to do with the strength of our bodies, our homes, or our nation. We don’t need to be afraid because God promises that He will be with us. And when God makes a promise, He always keeps it!

John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John the Baptist had a very important mission, to prepare the way for the Messiah. And once he accomplished that mission, it was time for people to stop looking to John and to start looking to Jesus. Let the echo of his words resound in our own hearts today, that Christ may increase, and we may decrease.

James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
If your doctor prescribed you a pill that would always benefit you, you’d probably run right out and get it. Well, God has prescribed an attitude for us to have that always brings us benefits, unfortunately, not many choose to have it. It’s humility. And whenever you humble yourself in His sight, things will always look up.

Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Every day, whether you realize it or not, you show love to yourself. You do it by sleeping in a warm house, filling up your belly, and making sure you have clothes that keep you warm. But did you know that’s also what God’s calling you to do for others? And the tricky part is, He wants you to give it to them just like you give it to yourself…freely, without charge, and without judgment. When you do that, you fulfill God’s law of love.
