Today’s scripture: Philippians 2:5-8
I read these verses and am humbled. Yesterday, I wrote about pride and how
sometimes we can get caught up in what “we” can do.
Then I remember that God the Son chose to humble Himself—really humble Himself.
He left the Father’s side and took on flesh. He became a human being, subject
to weariness, temptation, pain, denial, and betrayal. And even more, He humbled
Himself and hung on a cross to pay the penalty for my sin.
How can I think highly of myself when I know what Jesus did for me? Again,
everything I am, everything I have, everything I can do is a gift from God. I
do nothing without His leading, His guidance, His will.
Lord Jesus, please forgive me when I
think too highly of myself, when I feel ungodly pride. Help me to be humble, to
remember Your humility. I pray that all I do will bring glory to You. Amen.
