Philippians 2:5 (NKJV) 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Recently we sat down to eat with one, who talked the entire meal about himself and what he had done for God. He reveled to us his great service for God and how special he was in the kingdom economy of things. The entire conversation reminded us of the warning, "Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2 (NKJV)
God has called us to humility, service, obedience and the work of dying to self daily, if there is any other work of God, let it consume us, that we are not an offense to others or cause another to stumble. Friend, the servant of God is just that, a servant, no will of his own, no desire to walk contrary, but according to the Word of God. "Let this mind be in You which was also in Christ Jesus!"
Heavenly Father the life of Christ is, the life of Christ, help us to hear and obey. Let our lives be a daily sacrifice to You, may those around observe You and nothing more. Amen
