Daily Bread – November 24, 2023 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) Philippians 2:5-7 – Let this mind which was in Christ Jesus be also in you. Who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be grasped, but made Himself void. He took the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. There can be no greater example of the humility we should have in our relationships than that given to us by Jesus. Furthermore, when we consider our motives for doing things, we must make sure we are not using the gifts and special anointings we have been given to gain a reward or some personal advantage. When we consider Jesus, we behold an example we must follow if we are going to please the Father and do the right things with what He has given us. We must humble ourselves under the mighty care and provision of the Father, and entrust our well being and defense to Him. Jesus was abused, but He never retaliated with a threat of God’s judgment and wrath upon the abusers, but rather, interceded for their forgiveness. We have all been called to come and learn of His servitude and humility if we desire to find the rest and favor of the Father (Matthew 11:29). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
