Jesus\u2019 demonstration of humility is for our learning.<br \/>\nHumility is a choice to be responsible. The word of God pointed out that without humility, obeying the word of God becomes impossible. <strong><em>Philippians 2:8<\/em><\/strong> buttressed, <strong><em>\u201cAnd being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Jesus, our Lord, and savior chose to be humbled and responded with obedience. Jesus\u2019 humbled Himself and became obedient that made Him great for the glory of God.<br \/>\nHow responsible are you in the word of God?<br \/>\nDaniel was responsible to attain the price of greatness for the glory of God.<br \/>\nThe bible records about Daniel, <strong><em>\u201cBut Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king\u2019s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. \u00a0Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.\u201d(Daniel 1:8-9) <\/em><\/strong>Daniel\u2019s responsibility did not only provoke favor and goodwill of God before the chief of the eunuchs but through all his day of captivity.<br \/>\nThrough the life of Daniel, the choice of responsibility was glaring as he avoided wickedness against the covenant. The book of <strong><em>Daniel 11:32<\/em><\/strong> identified for our learning,<strong><em> \u201cThose who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Is wickedness your way that leads to becoming irresponsible?<br \/>\nDo you have the desire to be great for the glory of God?<br \/>\nWithout doubt, to be built by the word is a direct route of choosing to become responsible which is the price of greatness. In life, commend to the word of God. Apostle Paul admonished us, <strong><em>\u201cSo now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.\u201d (Acts 20:32)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Be responsible to live life for God&#8217;s glory!<br \/>\nJesus has paid the price, are you doing your part to get to the place He paid for all to be?<br \/>\nFrom today, be responsible, live life for the glory of God, provoking His goodness over your life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today: <\/strong><em>Ask from God\u2019s enablement for your life to be responsible in His word.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: Responsible for the word of God will provoke the goodness of God.
