Learning The Secret to Having JOY In Your Life!

Scripture

Philippians 2

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Observation

Attitude is everything! Having the same attitude or the same mind as Christ Jesus is the key to being a successful disciple of Christ. Jesus Christ was God Himself yet for our sakes He humbled Himself and took on the form of a servant. Lets reread Philippians 2:5 ff

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,

8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

He did all of that for you and for me. And He says that we should have that same attitude for each other. My biggest problem is “me”, thinking too much of myself, being too concerned for “Numero Uno”. How about you?

Application

The letter to the Philippians is all about Joy and the only way to have “JOY” in your life is to put Jesus first, Others second, You last. I will ask God to help me with my “attitude” today that it might be like “Christ”.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to have the mind of Christ today. Help me with my attitude. Help me to put Jesus first, Others second, and myself last so that I might experience Your deep Joy in my life.
