Competition

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be with us in every thing that we do and think on this day. Dear Lord please help us not to live life like we are in competition with others so that we may be the envy of others. Please help us to live as You taught and accept the humbleness of serving others, please help us not to seek greatness, but to seek Your Kingdom and find greatness, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

1Co 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 
1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 

Jas 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 
Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 
Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 

Php 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
