Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus - Phil. 2:5.
If there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill His joy by being like-minded having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. May each person look out not only for his own interest but also for the interest of others.
Each time we're confronted with a decision to make, we should ask ourselves, "What would Jesus Do?" Then do just what we know Jesus would do. Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death even the death of the cross. Therefore God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, and He will exalt you in due season.
Prayer: Lord teach us how to have the mind of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Encouragement: To have the mind of Jesus Christ, start with humility.
