Daily Devotionals

For today’s devotion, we invite you to spend time pondering God’s message to you in this passage from Philippians 2.

 

            Read it slowly.

            Ask yourself, “What is God saying to me? What lesson should I learn?”

            Ask yourself, “How is God inviting me to respond to this truth?”
            Consider how your life might be shaped, changed, or formed by the

                        truth in this passage.

 

            Read the passage again, this time as a prayer. Ask God to make the truth it

teaches or the response it asks for a reality in your life.

            Spend a few minutes in quiet reflection and celebration as you close

                        your devotion time.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
 rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

 

Philippians 2:5-11
