Obedient Servant?

This morning, while doing my morning prayers, I read a passage of Scripture from Philippians and thought about what this word was saying to me. Here it is. See what this passage says to you.

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:5-8).

As I read these words, the things that stuck out to me were:
1. "made himself nothing"- Christ emptied Himself. He made Himself nothing in order to become a servant of God. This spoke to me that I need to empty myself in order to become a servant of God.
2. "he humbled himself and became obedient"- Christ became humble, which led him to be obedient. This calls me to humble myself so I, too, can become obedient.

The final thought I have on this passage is that I need to empty myself and humble myself in order to become and obedient servant of God.
