Putting Others First

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Thursday, 12/11/25

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4 ESV

My Thoughts: I’m reminded of the day, many years ago, when the Holy Spirit brought this verse to my mind in a specific situation. It isn’t always easy, but it’s God’s way and how we should live.

In His Love, Cindy

Embracing Humility

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 9/19/25

 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Philippians 2:3 Read full chapter

I remember one time many years ago. I had a room reserved for every Tuesday for the Women’s Bible Study. Then one day, the church secretary called me and said, “You won’t be able to use the room tonight.”

I said, “Why not?!”

She said, “Someone else needs it.” No explanation. Just “Someone else needs it.”

I won’t lie. I didn’t like it. My first thought was, So what? But before I could respond, the Holy Spirit brought the above verse to my mind.

I knew God was teaching me humility. It isn’t an easy lesson to learn, but one way or another, we need to learn it. If you’re like me, it will take some time!

In His Love, Cindy

How a Simple Janitor Delivered a Powerful Gospel Message

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Monday, 6/30/25

Jesus said, “The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Matthew 23:11-12

A Prison Story

A prisoner talked about the huge impact made on a rough group of fellow prisoners and himself by none other than a nondescript janitor who had worked for years at the prison.  This little woman spoke to those hardened men as she held her broom and her words were used by God to pierce their hard hearts with the Gospel.  

He said, “Because that janitor, a woman without a title, without a stage – she delivered a sermon that still gets me choked up.  She didn’t come to save us.  She came to serve.  And in doing so, she became the loudest gospel I’d ever heard.”

“That little prison janitor touched toughened hearts through her acts of service.  Her stage was a prison meeting room, holding her broom and mop, her dirty bucket of water sitting beside her.” Patty

God loves using the weak things of this world to confound the mighty.

Verses for Meditation, 8/1/24

Cindy Dawson

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:12-14 NLT
