What Do I Do? Bow Down in Thanksgiving

PAUL SAYS IN PHILIPPIANS 2:5, “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” Then he goes on to describe Jesus’ selfless way of emptying Himself of His divine privileges and lowering Himself to serve humankind. If we are Christians, Christ’s example has been given to us to follow. God did not save us so that we would become puffed up, self-righteous, and self-serving. He saved us so that we would bow down with thanksgiving to Him and, in turn, serve others as He did.

Jesus came as a servant. But it is interesting to see that God then elevated Him as the Kings of all kings. This is how things are in God’s Kingdom—if we’re humble, He lifts us up (Matthew 23:12). Has there ever been a time when you have sacrificially loved someone and known that God was being honored by your humility and servanthood? Do you believe God will honor us if we deny our selfishness and love others above ourselves?
