—Philippians 2:1-11

In the New Living Translation, verses 6-7 read, “Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form.” Our nature is to “demand and cling” to our rights. We are called to put that desire aside and to take on the heart of a servant. Sometimes that idea is a little hard to swallow. When we focus on our master, however, becoming a servant is a joyful, fulfilling role!
