Philippians 2:7
“He made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant.”
Devotional
A true warrior understands that strength is not always found in the sword but in the discipline of the soul. Jesus, though holding the power of the universe, chose humility—becoming a servant to accomplish a greater mission. Philippians 2:7 reveals this profound truth: true strength is found in restraint, service, and purpose.
As warriors, we are called to emulate this example. The path of humility requires courage, self-mastery, and the resolve to serve others rather than ourselves. Humility is not weakness—it is the mark of a disciplined heart, steadfast in its mission. Jesus’ humility was not submission to defeat but a strategy to achieve ultimate victory over sin and death.
This Christmas, reflect on the strength of the Servant King. Let His example inspire you to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and fight with honor. In choosing humility, you align yourself with a strength that cannot be shaken—a strength rooted in character, mission, and divine purpose.
Prayer
Lord, teach me the discipline of humility, as shown in Christ. Strengthen me to serve others with courage and purpose, to master my pride, and to trust in Your perfect plan. Let my battles be fought with honor and my victories marked by humility. Amen.
