Philippians 2:8-9 (Kelly)

Title: Humble like Christ

S-Scripture: "And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death on the cross. Therefor God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name." (v. 8-9)

O-Observation-Humility is the way to exaltation from God. Jesus chose to be LOW (to men) and obeyed even in the most undesirable circumstance (death on the cross). He was rewarded HIGHLY by God (though lowly by man).

A-Application-Ignore selfishness and thoughts of entitlement. The more humble I can become on Earth, the more I reap in heaven with the Lord. Don't belittle or have an inferiority complex.

P-Prayer-Jesus, please help me to remain humble. I often become discouraged because I feel like I am entitled to be treated, or appreciated, a certain way. Let me seek YOUR approval above man's. Thank you, Jesus, Amen.
