Majestic Meekness (Pack Of 25)

Majestic MeeknessFew experiences reveal our own selfishness more than parenting. I found that to be true as the father of four children. To be perfectly frank, when our kids were little, there was a side of me that liked to have my shoes shined rather than stepped on and scuffed up. I preferred having my clothes hanging in the closet in an orderly manner rather than drooled on and wrinkled. And milk is best in a glass, on the table, not on the floor! So what did the Lord do to assist me in realizing my selfishness? Very simple: he gave me four wonderful, busy kids who stepped on shoes, wrinkled clothes, and spilled milk along with other things! But Jesus presents a different model. It was our Lord?s unselfishness that launched him from the splendor of heaven to a humble manger in Bethlehem. Don?t miss the steps downward, according to Philippians 2:5?8 in the Bible:He emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant. ?Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant?? He was made in the likeness of humanity. ??being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form?? He humbled himself by becoming obedient
