Hi there and welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. Our reading titled

Putting on Humility was written by Katara Patton. The CEO of a Frozen Treats franchise went undercover

on the television series Undercover Boss, donning a cashier's

uniform. Working at one of the franchise's stores, her wig and makeup disguised her identity as she

became the new employee. Her goal was to see how things were really working from the inside

and on the ground. Based on her observations,

she was able to solve some of the issues the store was facing. Jesus took on a humble

position to solve our issues. He became human, walking the earth, teaching us about God,

and ultimately dying on a cross for our sins.

This sacrifice exposed Christ's humility as he obediently gave his life as our sin offering.

He walked the earth as a man and experienced what we experience from ground level.

As believers in Jesus, we're called to have the same attitude as our Savior, especially

in our relationships with other believers. God helps us to clothe ourselves in humility and adopt

the mindset of Christ. He prompts us to live as servants ready to meet others' needs and willing to

lend a helping hand.

As God leads us to humbly love others, we're in a better position to serve them and to compassionately seek solutions to the issues they face.

Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Philippians chapter 2, verses 5 through 11.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus,

who being in very nature God did not consider equality with God, something to be used to his own advantage. Rather, he made himself

nothing, by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found

in appearance as a man, he humbled himself, by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.

Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place
