ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
At a public seminar organized by the company I’d just joined, everyone was given a role, such as ushering and logistics. It was a big event and everyone was busy, so no one reacted when a participant spilled a drink. One of the bosses, however, instinctively dropped what he was doing, grabbed a mop, and helped to clean up the spill.
As the main organizer overseeing the event, this man had the authority to order someone else to do it. But he chose to do what some might have seen as a lowly job—and earned my utmost respect.
In Philippians 2:3-4, humility is described in simple and practical terms: “Do nothing out of . . . vain conceit,” “value others above yourselves,” and look “to the interests of the others.”
In responding to a need, my boss didn’t think about his rank. True humility is sometimes shown in words or actions that reflect a giving heart and a selfless attitude concerned about meeting others’ needs and not preserving image or status. It’s a heart that mirrors that of Jesus, who despite His divine status “made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (v. 7). Let’s ask God to help us put others above ourselves so we can be more like Christ, our servant Lord.
Reflect & Pray
What concerns do you have about your image or status? How can you practice humility through your words and actions today?
Dear Jesus, please help me to be humble, putting aside my concerns about status and putting on the heart and attitude of a humble servant as You did.
