Finishing up a Monday is such a great feeling. So much gets done it seems. I begin each day by writing down my daily task list. Typically there are several items that make the post...even more so on Monday. I love life's little thrills like watching the needle go from E to F when I fill the tank or finishing a 300+ page book, but few things are more satisfying than marking a task as complete. So as I sit here closing down the office "stuff" like appointment scheduling, and Sunday worship service reviewing and email returning and the looking-ahead-to-next-week's-services, I just wonder...how would Jesus feel after a successful Monday? Would He be getting a sense of accomplishment from knowing the "to-do" list was emptied by 5:30PM? Would He define daily success as returning every email or scheduling 3 appointments? I not only want to be like Him...I want to allow Him to live His life through me. So, what does that take? in a word...humility. But what does true humility look like? I know about false humility...that's just a way to deceive people and come off looking like the good guy. But to see true humility I look to the Savior...the One who had the power of the universe in the palm of His hand, yet often when He would perform a miracle that would bring healing to someone, He would deflect credit away from Himself by saying, "Your faith has made you well." Rather than call attention to the signs and wonders of His Majesty, He instructed parents not to tell anyone what had happened as they watched their lifeless daughter raised from the dead (Luke 8:56). He had the ability to walk on water and did it exactly once! That's humility. And so Paul tells the church at Philippi...and me "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Phil 2:5-8).
