Head: Know God's Word | Heart: Love God | Hands: Follow God's Way
Read: Philippians 2
HEAD
What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? Philippians 2 teaches us all about the humility and attitude of Christ. Paul writes that we shouldn’t be selfish but count others as more important than ourselves. We should look out for others. Christ always had the attitude of humility and love. He wanted everything He did to be done to fulfill God’s will, which is why He willingly sacrificed his own life. Paul continues in the chapter to tell us to “do everything without complaining and arguing”.
HEART
Do you ever find yourself in a bad mood or feel like everything is going the opposite of how you want it to go? It makes it so hard not to grumble and complain, doesn’t it? It’s much easier to complain, but you know what’s really cool? When you don’t argue and grumble, you’re actually showing others who Jesus is! Our attitudes should always reflect who He is, no matter our circumstances. Be aware of how you react to things and how you treat people. It can make all the difference in the world!
HANDS
Come up with a way to help you remember not to argue and complain when things don’t go your way. You can write Philippians 2:14 in your notebook at school or stick it on the refrigerator. Ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of complaining and arguing so that you can show Jesus to others.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the example You set for us to live by. Help me to remember to do everything without arguing and complaining so that I reflect who You are to others. Amen.
