In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking on the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:5-7

Church yesterday was so good. Good, because my brothers and sisters in Christ were there. Good, because my 86 year old Dad was there. Good, because God’s servant pastor was there. Good because God was there! He always shows up for our seeking.

Just a quick thought…Pastor said, “You have to go down to go up.” (Phillipians 2)

Its all about how far down we are willing to go for Jesus. How this translated to my heart… I must humble myself. We must lower ourselves to go the higher road. We must desire to humble ourselves, at the expense of ourselves, to be obedient to Jesus’ example.

It dawned on me that we can exalt God from any position, but what if we praise Him by lowering ourselves…

Perhaps the most beautiful praise we can raise is one from a humble position.

We shouldn’t just be looking AT God, but looking UP to Him.

Friends, have a blessed day and start to your week. Thank you, Pastor.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

I couldn’t sleep, so I grabbed my Bible, notebook and pen. I get quiet time with God!❤️

How blessed are we to have a copy of God’s Word AND have His Word that He has our backs.
Thinking on this, I jotted down thoughts God gifted me.

All God Allows

God allows as He allows, allots as He alots.

All He allots is all I’ve got. As He allows, I tremble not.

For He alone, my heart adores, no matter what He has in store.

What He allows, my soul shall raise, allot to Him the highest praise.
