*DAILY DEW 3/AUGUST/2023* *The Cross: A Symbol of Humility* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."* (Philippians 2:2-3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves! Wow! This is profound. However it is easier said than done, especially when you walk in the flesh! Realizing how heavy these words and those that follow are, the scriptures directly points us to remember how that Christ suffered on the Cross enabled by humility! Humility is central to the love walk. The second and horizontal part of the cross is our relationship with others. "God is love" means God loves OTHERS and cannot be without looking out for the good of others. This was perfectly demonstrated in Christ dying for us while we were still sinners. The Cross demands that you humble yourself before others as unto God! Humility will mean intentionally ignoring your rights at times. It means preferring others have their way. Humility means being emotionally intelligent and being aware of the needs of others as much as you are aware of yours. *"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." (Philippians 2:4 (KJV)) Humility will show in little things as well as in big things. How quickly you apologize even if you are not wrong How quickly you greet first even if you are greeting someone younger or you're superior too How you rather allow others to insult or annoy you without making a big deal of it How you don't allow everything that annoys you to become a big deal How you make effort to be at peace with others How you are able to not always choose to defend yourself even when you are right How you are able to suffer wrongly for something you didn't do or handle it with grace, poise and calm when defending yourself. _MEDITATION:_ *"You cannot carry your cross daily in following Jesus without humility!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
