These verses are some of the finest and strongest. That is because they hold truth that will guide us now and for eternity. I first looked at these many years ago. They helped shape who I am, what I do and what I believe.
As you read through these verses take note of what sticks out to you. It might reinforce what you believe or change it. Let God speak.
Philippians 2:3-11 NLT
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
This might seem like a short devotion, but I intend for it to be packed with the truth of this passage from the Bible. I leave you with that one thought that puts it all together…
“Have the same attitude that Jesus had.”
