Tuesday:
Philippians 1:26-2:18
This morning I am reminded of how to conduct myself as a
Christian. Not just as an individual,
but with other believers also. One part
that stood out the most to me was verses 2-3.
“Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of
one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be
done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem
other better than themselves.” (KJV) Isn’t
that the humility that Christ showed us when he “made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”(KJV)?
Do I carry myself as a Christian? Isn’t the word Christian “Christ-Like”? When I am with other Christians do we act
like Christ, do we shine as lights?
Verse 14 stood out to me regarding this.
“Do all things without murmurings and disputings:”(KJV) I am
sure that Satan is excited when we are disputing with other Christians, because
how quickly that ruins our example to this “crooked and perverse nation”. I pray that I learn to have the humility of
Christ.
Dear Lord,
Please help me learn to be a humble servant for you. Help me to be a light, and help me with other
Christians to not lose sight of the example that Christ gave me when He humbled
himself and became like man, and suffered on the cross, for MY sin.
Amen.
