Paul talks about imitating Christ by being a humble servant like He demonstrated on a daily basis. I need to have the eyes of Jesus so that I can see the needs of others. Jesus left the exultation work up to God the Father, He never exalted himself.
I look forward to the day when verses 9-11 will be a reality:
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I need to do God's will without grumbling and complaining (and arguing with others)
(v15) "....Then you wil shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life."
Well Lord, this morning is my opportunity to put all that into practise, to do everything without grumbling and complaining. I have a busy morning ahead with Justin's birthday party, Talia going off to a party etc. Please help me to be calm and warm to my family!
