Today’s Scripture: Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, Philippians 2:5 ESV
When I need encouragement and comfort Jesus shows up. When I truly need the Spirit of God He reveals Himself. I realize not everyone is as needy as I am.
In fact in two different conversations this weekend I realized that not everyone feels the need for Christ Jesus and they don’t really want it. They don’t mind it but they don’t need it.
In my great need I have found a great God. Until He is needed this “Jesus talk” seems unnecessary and a little weird.
In Philippians 2:4 Paul instructed us to humbly look to the interests of others over our own. We can look to their needs. When we are more interested in the needs of others we recognize where Jesus is needed.
When we meet others at their needs we can share how we found Christ Jesus in ours. Until then we are clanging cymbals.
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I need You. Humble me LORD to look for the needs of all others around me. Help me to recognize these needs and then to share the great hope and love I have received in Christ Jesus. I need You LORD to show Your great love. Amen
