Today we will continue reading Paul's letter to the Philippians with Chapters 2 and 3.

Today we will read about why it is important to choose to do what Jesus wants us to do rather than doing what WE want to do in life.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about "Big Picture Thinking" vs "small picture thinking." God's plan for all of us a very big picture. We cannot see all of it, just like Abraham could not see God's promise happen when God promised to give him more children than there were stars in the sky. But God is fulfilling that promise to Abraham every time someone comes to faith in Jesus, including YOU! We have been learning that when we grow individually it benefits the ENTIRE body of Jesus. That is an example of God's big picture. In the same way, our choices to obey God have a greater impact in the world and on the Body of Believers than we can possibly imagine, just like Abraham could have never imagined how God would fulfill His promise to him. Besides this, Jesus has more than earned the right to be made the greatest. He came down to earth to become a servant in the likeness of a human man and obeyed God to the point of dying, ALL SO WE COULD BE SAVED FROM OUR SINS. If anyone knows and understands the "Big Picture" of God's plans it is Jesus. As a result of Jesus' obedience and sacrifice He has been been given the honor that EVERYONE will bow to Him and say that He is Lord. For these reasons (and many more!) we need to choose to do what Jesus wants us to do in life rather than choosing to do what WE want to do. It may not be easy, BUT IT IS WORTH IT for the big picture!
