KJV-Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind. let each esteem others better than themselves. My daily devotional reads a little different-Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
On July 31, 2011-Paula Louise Kelly left this earth. Just a simple act of one driver in such a big hurry that he could not wait to go further down the road. This driver passed in an area that should not be used for passing on a 2-lane highway.Therefore, 2 people died. She was just 1/2 mile from home. This lady was my neighbor; a mother, grandmother, daughter, and wife. An aunt, cousin, and friend yet her life was cut short. 46 years old but she is no longer with us. Subsequently, a child died from the injuries. Why do we always think that we are better than others and do our own thing or be first all the time. We haven't earned any rights. We are only children of GOD by His Grace. By believing on Him and be washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Are we teaching our children this measure of faith? Is it our environment that causes us to behave this way? It might be what we see others do and copy their actions. Some call it "Road Rage." Others call it selfishness or vindictiveness. Yet in truth, we are spoiled children. We all want to do our own thing and 2 people are dead. I don't want to be this type of person. I want to have a little more patience and help someone along the way.
Father in Heaven, Please help me to over come my faults and failures. Let me be a better example for my children and grandchildren, to be humble and a servant for you. Amen.
