I’ve been on the go all day today.
Running errands, picking up things I need, going to the bank, escape-proofing the bunny cage, etc.
I finally have a moment to stop as I sit in the school pick-up line.
I start to read 1 Corinthians and come to this verse…“Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.” 1 Corinthians 10:24
And it’s convicting to me because so many days go by where it’s non-stop, all day; but if I ask myself if I was concerned for my good or the good of others, many times it’s for myself.
Sure, it’s for my kids or family a lot of times, but I’ve got to purposefully live out this command.
I’ve got to be concerned for the good of others.
Why do you think Paul wrote this command?
Sure it’s good to think about others.
It’s kind.
It’s thoughtful.
It’s loving.
But Paul says he does what is best for others “so that many may be saved.” 1 Corinthians 10:33
Wow, that gives us more motivation doesn’t it?
When we are more concerned with the good of others, many may be saved!
May we focus on this every day and seek to live this out in our lives.
