The Attitude of Christ

We become an inspiration

to a waiting world

when our life

becomes a reflection

of the one we serve.

Lord, help me look more like you

as I focus on the needs around me

with a heart willing and ready to serve.

Today’s Reading: Philippians 2:5-11

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Though he was God,
    he did not think of equality with God
    as something to cling to.
Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
    he took the humble position of a slave
    and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
he humbled himself in obedience to God
    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.
