Philippians 2:5-11

5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.

6 Christ himself was like God in everything. But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.

7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born to be a man and became like a servant.

8And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death — death on a cross.

9 So God raised him to the highest place. God made his name greater than every other name

10 so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus — everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

11 And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and bring glory to God the Father.

The first time I sung this song I was a young teen and still ‘XX’ amount of years on the words still have that meaning and power behind them.

God’s Wisdom

Proverbs 28 New International Version

²⁰A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.

²¹To show partiality is not good—
yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.

²²The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them.

²³Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favour
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.

²⁴Whoever robs their father or mother
and says, “It’s not wrong,”
is partner to one who destroys.

²⁵The greedy stir up conflict,
but those who trust in the Lord will prosper.

²⁶Those who trust in themselves are fools,
but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.

²⁷Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,
but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

²⁸When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;
but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

Our walk with God

Luke 10:40-42

But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t You care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”

This is a wonderful hymn written by Theodore H. Kitching, in the Salvation Army’s War Cry, February 6, 1915. The words were sung at the author’s funeral at Clapton Congress Hall in 1930. It’s one of these hymn where the words just seem to match the tune, with the words being so meaningful (especially the last verse) and the tune being played with devotion what else can I say.

How wonderful it is to walk with God
Along the road that holy men have trod;
How wonderful it is to hear Him say:
Fear not, have faith, ’tis I who lead the way!

How wonderful it is to talk with God
When cares sweep o’er my spirit like a flood;
How wonderful it is to hear His voice,
For when He speaks the desert lands rejoice!

How wonderful it is to praise my God,
Who comforts and protects me with His rod;
How wonderful to praise him every hour,
My heart attuned to sing His wondrous power!

How wonderful it is to fight for God,
And point poor sinners to the precious blood;
How wonderful it is to wield His sword
’Gainst sin, the enemy of Christ, my Lord!

How wonderful ’twill be to live with God
When I have crossed death’s deep and swelling flood;
How wonderful to see Him face to face
When I have fought the fight and won the race!
