Daily Devotion - Every Knee Shall Bow

Philippians 2:10
“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,“

No other name deserves all honor and praise and might and majesty and dominion and power for there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved. The truth of this scripture is an offense to all that is in the world but to those that have been saved, it is life – eternal life – abundant life, by grace through faith.

We meet together in His name and come to the throne of grace through the name of Jesus. His name is the name of authority in heaven and hell – and demons, death, and Satan tremble at the awesome name of JESUS. Jesus is the One that is the Author and Finisher of our faith, our great high priest – our shepherd and king. His approach was anticipated in the Old Testament and made manifest in the New. He was the focal point on which the expectation of all the prophets rested and the revelation of the Father in heaven, which has been given to us.

Jesus is the One that is full of grace and truth and Who walked all His life in willing obedience to the Spirit of God, and we are called to follow His example by denying self and crying Thy will not mine be done.

We are encouraged to have this attitude in us which was in Christ Jesus, Who, although He existed eternally in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
It is for this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name. Part of the result of Jesus being highly exalted (Philippians 2:9) is that all people, ultimately, will be in submission to Him. The idea may actually be better expressed by “will bow,” referring to something certain to happen. This is phrased in terms including every possible being. Those “in heaven” could include angels and saints who have passed away already. Those “on earth” clearly refer to people living now. Those “under the earth” could include those who have already died and perhaps the Devil and evil spirits who must submit to the power of the Lord

Loving Father thank You for Jesus – my Saviour and King- my Lord and my God. Who alone is worthy to receive all honor and praise. I pray that I draw ever closer to Him and that I may decrease, and He increases until Christ is seen in me, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.

Blessed Day Ahead.
