Just A Minute!

God highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
Philippians 2:9

Jesus –

What do you think about after reading the verse above?

If you are a professing Christian, you should be humbled and filled with devotion for our Savior.

For the moment, don’t focus on your own self-worth, dreams, goals, or even the things that hurt you. Your thoughts should turn to your Redeemer and all that He is to you.

Right now, this is just between you and God. It’s a moment to reflect on your life and consider how your life brings honor to God.

Do you think and act like Jesus?

Ask the Spirit to touch you with something that He wants you to know-

about Jesus.

Take a moment today. Read the passage below, out loud. Let this impact you.

Philippians 2:1-11 & 15¹

From the International Children’s Version of the Holy Bible

Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the Spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness?

…do you have these same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose?

…do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves.

…Do not be interested only in your own life but be interested in the lives of others.

…think and act like Christ Jesus.

Christ…was equal with God….
He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
He was born as a man and became like a servant.
And when he was living as a man,
he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God.
He obeyed even when that caused his death—death on a cross. 

So, God raised Christ to the highest place.
God made the name of Christ greater than every other name.
every knee will bow to Jesus—
everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

 Everyone will say, “Jesus Christ is Lord”
    and bring glory to God the Father.

Shine like stars in the dark world.

for your Savior
