Daily Devotions

Today's Scripture: “And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” Philippians 2:8, ESV  

Theme: Become obedient to God ... without limits.  

Today's Scripture: “...but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:7, ESV  

Theme: We follow the Jesus Mindset when we willingly take the place of a servant rather than grabbing for power and honor. 

Today’s Scripture: “Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.” Philippians 2:6, ESV 

Theme: The Jesus Mindset requires the humility modeled by Jesus Himself. Even though He was equal with the Father, He did not give into self-importance like we do. 

Today's Scripture: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5, ESV  

Theme: We develop the “Jesus Mindset” as we begin imitating Christ, empowered by His Spirit.  

Today's Scripture: “Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant.” 1 Kings 11:11, ESV 

Theme: Even if we have godly wisdom and influence, if we abandon our God and His laws, we will lose His favor and blessing and experience moral failure.
