40 Days Lent Devotional - Day 38

Meditation:

Take a moment to intentionally reflect and focus on God, God’s Word, and God’s works.

Engage with the Scripture:

Interact with the Scripture not merely for the purpose of knowledge, but rather for transformation and discipleship to Jesus.

1. What was the original intent? (Context/Content)
2. What does it mean? (Interpretation)
3. How should it shape and form me? (Application)

Humility

Philippians 2:3-11
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
