Memorize and Reflect

Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”


Prayer Direction

Ask the Lord to give you a clear picture of your contribution to the health of Shoreline and to what degree you add to the humility, unity and love within the body. Be open to how He shows you ways to enhance your role in ‘one another’ living.
