Daily Devotions

Today's Scripture: “...but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:7, ESV  

Theme: We follow the Jesus Mindset when we willingly take the place of a servant rather than grabbing for power and honor. 

Today’s Scripture: “Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.” Philippians 2:6, ESV 

Theme: The Jesus Mindset requires the humility modeled by Jesus Himself. Even though He was equal with the Father, He did not give into self-importance like we do. 

Today's Scripture: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5, ESV  

Theme: We develop the “Jesus Mindset” as we begin imitating Christ, empowered by His Spirit.  

Today's Scripture: “Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant.” 1 Kings 11:11, ESV 

Theme: Even if we have godly wisdom and influence, if we abandon our God and His laws, we will lose His favor and blessing and experience moral failure. 

Today's Scripture: "For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father." 1 Kings 11:4, ESV 

Theme: Spiritual compromise always leads to division, destruction, and captivity to sin.
