Philippians 2:5-11
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
You, Lord, the Ultimate Servant, have become the Ultimate King of Kings and Ruler of all creation. You are Lord and do lead me in the path of righteousness for Your namesake. Teach me to be a servant, to humble myself as You did. Teach me to teach with humility and grace this morning, Lord. Change my heart, O God, make me ever new. Create a new spirit within me.
