A SECRET TO BE EXALTED
Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, Philippians 2:9 AMPC
Many times, people want to be lifted high and advance among others. This is a good desire, but they don't find it because they make it the object of their pursuit.
You see in our kingdom, even Jesus said it, that he who wants to be great among the brethren let him be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave. (Math 20:26-27). The path to be exalted is the path of selfless humility and love for others.
These are the fuels for service. It's the pattern of the kingdom. Jesus came to serve, and gave His life as a ransom for many, but what was the result? He was highly exalted by the Father!
The scripture says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6). This is how God wants us to live. The life of humility and love. Let the same mindset which was in Christ be also in you. The end is greatness not reduction. You're blessed. TCF
