Make yourself a nobody?

Wednesday - 10/10 - Read Philippians 2:1-11

Are you willing to make yourself a nobody to serve others? Are you willing to become insignificant in the world's eyes to help build up and benefit others? Jesus did.

On Sunday, as we met around the Lord's Supper, we came face to face with the most significant being who ever has and ever will exist--God. He became insignificant for you and me.

How far are you willing to go to build up others? Are you willing to become a nobody--perhaps serving in a ministry no one else wants to serve in? Nobody will notice you and maybe nobody will say, "Good job," because they won't know you're doing anything.

This is the path of humility. Are you willing to follow Jesus on this path? It is repugnant for most people.

How does God respond to people who are willing to walk this path? Does this humility produce praise and worship to God?

Read James 5:13-20 for next Sunday
