And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross! Therefore GOD exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name. - Philippians 2:8-9
Faith Believers,
The reason Jesus came into the world was to die on the cross for the sins of humanity. But it was far from easy: on His last night on earth, Jesus cried out to GOD three times, asking The Father for another way. However, GOD didn’t provide one. So, Jesus humbled Himself to GOD’s Will. And His obedience led Him to die one of the worst deaths imaginable.
What is GOD calling you to do that you are finding hard to obey?
Are you sensing, deep within you, that GOD is speaking to you
about something you’re meant to do?
Maybe He’s calling you to take a risk, and you’re having a hard time letting go of your comfort zone. If so, I want to encourage you to - humble yourself, obey, and step out in faith - just like Jesus did.
Your reward will be great, as it was for Jesus.
An obedient lifestyle may not be easy,
but it is possible.
We may not understand how the entire process is going to work out, but we need to trust GOD, because He is worthy of our trust! He is good and His plans for us are good. It just makes sense for us to be obedient to Him and to His call.
Father,
Give us the grace
to be obedient
to what You are calling us
to do.
May we have the courage
to step out in faith.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
