Scripture – Philippians 2:9

9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,

Prayer Focus: Perhaps you have heard the phrase, “What goes up, must come down.” In this ancient Christian hymn, Paul sees the opposite actions. What comes down, must go up. In humility, Christ emptied himself and became obedient even unto death on a cross. Therefore, God has raised him up and given him a name that is above every other name. This is not the false humility we often see (and perhaps even practice ourselves) when we seek praise for how humble we are. No, this is the lifting up of the lowly, of those who have truly sought the welfare of others, and who have given their life to set others free. Lift up your eyes as you pray today and give praise to God, for the love that came down has received the victory.
