On Tuesday morning, Steve Murrell gave a very brief exhortation regarding leadership. The basis of his message was Philippians 2:3:
Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. (Phil. 2:3, ESV)
- What do you do when you meet someone who is better than you? Hopefully, you listen and learn.
- What do you do when you meet someone who acts like s/he is better than you? Run!
- Philippians 2:3 calls us to treat others as better than us. The implication is that we can learn from everyone and should never approach others like we are better. No one wants to be around know-it-all Humility is the name of the game.
- Be willing to listen to others.
- Learn from others.
- Humble yourself before others.
It was a very encouraging word. How can I be learning from those around me?
