Hello Everyone,
Read with me Philippians 2:5-11

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We have talked about the fact that when we sense the direction of God and have received His invitation to join Him in what He wants to do through us, we come to a “crisis of belief.”

Do I really believe that God can do through me what He is calling me to do?

Once we have settled that questions with a positive “yes,” then we are to demonstrate our faith by making whatever adjustments in our life might be necessary to obey God.

That will always be the order of our responding to the call of God: In our scripture, we see that the Son had to make some adjustments before He could obey the father and then, join the father in the work of world redemption.

He made the necessary adjustments (vs. 6-7), so He might obey (v. 8), and receive the reward (vs. 9-11).In the same way, when we sense God’s call to take a new step of obedience in our walk with Him and determine to respond by faith to His call, we to will first have to make the necessary adjustments to walk in obedience.

Once we do that, we can then obey and be blessed as we receive the rewards that accompany that step of obedience to God.What kinds of adjustments do we have to make in order to obey the call of God?

That is the question we will answer this week.
Oh How HE Loves Us!
Pastor Phil
