habit Day 9 (November 9th)
1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
What does this passage say?
WOW! Jesus made Himself nothing… making Himself a servant. Jesus was obedient to the point of death…
MORE WOW! Let each of you look not only to his own interests… but also the interests of others.
FACT WOW! Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess… that Jesus is Lord!
Why is it in the Bible?
To remind us that everything we do; do it for the glory of God. One day, everyone will bow before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords… We must do our part to point others to Jesus.
How much do we have to hate our friends to not point them to Jesus!
What should I do about it?
Remind myself daily that I am nothing without Christ. Always look for ways to to serve others and to bring honor to Jesus!
Spend some time praying that God will help you do what you wrote down for the third question.
Take the 21 day challenge!!! It’s not too late.
