Have you humbled yourself before God?
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:5-8 New King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Jesus, became as a man (John 1:14), became a servant, emptied Himself of any reputation, and then humbled Himself to the will of God. We, Christians, are supposed to be Christ-like. Have you humbled yourself before God? Thank God that Jesus was willing to make Himself humble and to be obedient to the will of God. His self-emptying humility, the fact that it was stark, bold, drastic, and outrageous, but the will of God, bought for us a precious salvation from God. But we are to have this same attitude when it comes to reaching the lost and loving God’s children (our brothers and sisters in the Lord). We have to be willing to lay down our lives, to humble ourselves, to be obedient to His calling. We are His hands, His feet, and His mouth, His spokesperson (Ambassador) here on the earth! Have you touched someone for God today? Does the world see Jesus and the Father when they look on you, or do they just see you?
MY PRAYER…
Father, You are all-powerful and yet You emptied Yourself to become a man just like me in order to redeem me. In order to show me the way by being my example. Help me to be more selfless in my attitude and treatment of others, like Jesus was with me. Father, give me the want to, the will to, and the power to become as Jesus was when He walked this earth. I know that I can not do this in my own strength. In His name, the name of Jesus, I pray. Father, I remind You that You said in Your Word whatever I asked in the Name of Jesus, that You would do. Hear my prayer Lord and answer it in Jesus Name.
Amen
