Evang Ps. Kenneth Nandoha
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:5-8
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Wow, easier said than done! Our minds and hearts should be like Jesus; quite a tall order for lowly servants! However, how else should we think of ourselves? Who else should we compare ourselves to? The teachings of Christ and the Bible were written for this explicit purpose.
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill your joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind in Christ Jesus.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
In doing such has God highly exalted Christ and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Today’s Prayer
I love to sing your praises, merciful and benevolent God, creator of both heaven and earth. I am a lowly servant, and I am honored to even be given the chance to serve You at all, O Lord. There is nothing that I want to do more than to serve You, to spread your word, and to love You. You are my strength and redeemer, made whole by Your son, Jesus Christ. In his holy name I pray, Amen.
