40 Days of Prayer, Serving with Each Other Philippians 2, Week 5, Day 2
Philippians 2 tells us that our attitude as Christians should be like that of Christ Jesus: one marked by humility, where we consider others before we consider ourselves. I am convicted that all too often, I consider the calling of Christ as an exclusively individual calling: “What has Christ called me to do? What does He gifted me to do?” However, Philippians reminds us that Christ’s calling is to serve those around us as He modeled for us.
Jesus humbly and faithfully served His “family” of disciples and considered their needs as more important than His own. He spent His life humbly, graciously, and patiently serving them, though He could have easily fulfilled His mission without them.
In seeking to live out the call of Jesus on your life, let me encourage you to embody Philippians 2 where you are right now. Who is around you? What do they need? How can you serve them? Jesus says in John 17:21 that the world will believe the gospel when the family of God lives in unity.
God has called you to be a gospel witness to the world by simply being filled with the Holy Spirit and living with the attitude of Christ. Serve those around you in humility. In doing so, Christ not only transforms you, but also the family of God and ultimately, the world.
REFLECTION PRAYER
The following prayer is from John Wesley and communicates a heart transformed by the humility of Jesus well: “I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, place me with whom You will. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be put to work for You or set aside for You, praised for You, or criticized for You. Let me be full; let me be empty. Let me have all things; let me have nothing. I freely and fully surrender all things to Your glory and service. And now, O wonderful and holy God, Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, You are mine, and I am Yours. So be it. Amen.”
