Devotional Thought May 23

So thankful for the services yesterday morning , The Youth did an outstanding
job as always, so proud of them. 
 
Last night had a wonderful message on missions,  surprised that our
attendance was so low... many missed a Great Blessing!!!!
 
 
BIBLE MEDITATION:
"And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name." Philippians 2:8-9

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Sometimes we underplay Jesus' humanity to prove that Jesus was God. But if you think of Jesus masquerading as a man instead of truly being a man, then you've missed out on a blessing. You see, it is the humanity of Jesus Christ that teaches us how we are to live as Christians in this world. . He lived in subjection to His Father,and because He chose to submit, God gave Him authority.

ACTION POINT:
Here is the principle for you and me to live by:
                      We will never be "over" until we are willing to be "under."
             "Authority does not develop on its own. It always comes from a higher source of power".
