Whatever You Do...

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

~ Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

Please God...

17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
~ Romans 14:17-18 (NIV)

Whatever You Do...

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 

~ Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Nature of a Servant

6 Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.

~ Philippians 2:6-7 (NIV)

God Is Stronger

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 

~ 1 Corinthians 1:25-30 (NIV)

Have the Attitude of Jesus

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

⁶ Though He was God,
    He did not think of equality with God
    as something to cling to.
⁷ Instead, He gave up His divine privileges;

    He took the humble position of a slave
    and was born as a human being.
When He appeared in human form,
⁸     He humbled himself in obedience to God
    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

~ Philippians 2:5-8 (NLT)

No Human Mind Has Conceived

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love Him—

~ 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

Heaven Is His Throne.

48 However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:

49 ‘Heaven is My throne,
And earth is the footstool of My feet;
What kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord,
‘Or what place is there for My repose?
50 ‘Was it not My hand which made all these things?’

~ Acts 7:48-50 (NASB)

Be Careful...

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. ~ Colossians 2:8 (NIV)

Mysteries of God

“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
“If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
Surely he recognizes deceivers;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
But the witless can no more become wise
than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.

~ Job 11:7-12 (NIV)

God Has Prepared...

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him ~ 1 Corinthians 2:9

Your Attitude

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

~ Philippians 2:5-7
