Selfish Ambition

Philippians 2:3
Do NOTHING from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Have you ever thought of how easily we dismiss the full impact of the simple commands scripture and just slap a “good enough” label on our behaviors and/or thoughts? So much conviction from the painful truth of this one verse.

How many times TODAY have I thought or behaved in a way that was motivated or manipulated by my selfish ambition or conceit???

And yet scripture tells me to do NOTHING out of selfish ambition or conceit. Jesus > me!
