Scripture Reading
Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Reflection
The one who humbled himself to a manger and a cross has been exalted to the highest place — and his exaltation is ultimately about glory to God the Father. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess. This is not coercion but the eventual recognition of a truth that already exists: Jesus is Lord over every domain, every power, every corner of creation. To confess it now, freely and gladly, is to live in alignment with the deepest reality of the universe.
Prayer for Today
Righteous Father God, I pray for our worship leaders and also those who are leaders in other areas like Sunday school and administrative positions, but for now, I ask you to help our worship leaders focus on what You desire and that is that You be glorified in our worship services as we worship You. I pray we worship You in spirit and in truth (John 4:24) so we can bring glory to You through our praises and thanksgivings. Please help your Spirit enable those who lead our worship services to seek to give You the credit for all we do and to help us focus on Your desire to be glorified and in His name we pray to seek more glorify for this, Jesus Christ, amen.
Amen.
