Scripture Reading
Philippians 2:5
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.
Reflection
Paul is pointing to a posture — one of self-giving, of considering others, of equality surrendered for love's sake. The remarkable thing is the phrase "which is yours in Christ Jesus": this mind is not something we manufacture but something already given. The invitation is to inhabit what we have already been given in him.
Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, in this day we will give thanks to You Lord and we will call upon Your name; we will make known among the nations what You have done and we will proclaim that Your name is exalted. We will sing to You Lord for You have done glorious things and we will let it be known to all the world. Father, today we will shout aloud and sing for joy. We will declare that great is the holy one of Israel among us.
Amen.
