"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." ~ Romans 12:3
As innately selfish creatures, most of us think life is all about us - our problems, our greatness, our accomplishments, our ups ad downs, our sickness, our health.
But God paints a different picture of what life is supposed to be. He urges us not to think more highly of ourselves than we ought.
Make no mistake - we are more than conquerors in Christ (Romans 8:37). God has called us to be a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). We are sons and daughters of the King (Galatians 3:26).
But true greatness is found in humility (Matthew 23:12), in service to others (Mark 10:43-44), and in love (John 15:13).
It's not about you!
God bless,
J.W.
