Humble Like Christ | Day 11 of 21 Days

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!

Philippians 2:5-8 NIV

 

The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Matthew 23:11-12 ESV

 

Think about it: In a “me first” culture, we need to remind ourselves that true freedom is found only when we humble ourselves like Christ.

 

Pray: Help me, God, to follow Christ’s example and become a humble servant, knowing that all the glory belongs to You alone.
