Read Philippians 3:4-6.
Everyone has a purpose for everything
they do. Paul’s avowed purpose was to serve
God — according to his own understanding.
He could brag that his purity, righteousness,
and zeal for God would stand against the best
of the Pharisees. By human standards he was
fulfilling his purpose in life.
When you look at yourself do you see
someone who looks as pure, righteous, and
zealous for the lord as the best of them? is
your purpose to be better than others, or is it
to measure yourself by Jesus’ standards?
ask God to help you keep your eyes
on Jesus, the only real model of righteous
living.
