“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition… but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself” (Philippians 2:3, NKJV). Selfish ambition rarely announces itself directly. It usually disguises itself as legitimate drive or vision.
The alternative offered here is demanding: esteeming others as better than yourself, not false modesty, but genuine regard placed above self-promotion.
This is hard to practice consistently, especially in competitive environments that reward self-promotion over humility.
Where has selfish ambition been quietly shaping a recent decision, in a way this verse calls you to replace with genuine esteem for someone else instead?
