FOR OTHERS

GENESIS 37:14 (CEB)
Jacob said to Joseph, “Go! Find out how your brothers are and how the flock is, and report back to me.”

PHILIPPIANS 2:4 (CEB)
Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Just as God looks out for us he expects us to make looking out for others a priority.

PRAYER
God our caregiver, thank you for you sending Jesus, who set aside his assets in order to come to look out for us. I want to live that way, too, but it's so hard to let go of my own interests. Give me a heart for others and help me to learn how to set aside my self-interests so that I can serve Christ through others. I'm going to allow his presence in my life to propel me in that direction. Amen.
