The Secret of Being Content: A Journey Through Philippians

DAILY READING
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ

Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with

God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he

made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness. 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,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the

glory of God the Father.
Philippians 1:5-11

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against

you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said

to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring

on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it.

Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is

alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Luke

15:21-24
