Philippians 2:5-11
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 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, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
***********************************************
When I am singing or listening to a song, sometimes the words will change for me (see June 18, 2010, blog entry “Singing to Him”). A friend joked with me about it one day, about why I would want to know the (original) words to a song if they were just going to change for me. Later, I felt that the Lord answered that He allows me to know the words as written – as He has given to someone else – so that when He changes the words for me, I know what’s different, again, for me (not that the original words are necessarily wrong, or not right for someone else.) Guess this is the singing of a “new song” for me!
Today, while I was listening to “I will exalt You,” I had another experience where other words were coming to me. It was as if the song that was sung, together with the Scriptures I was gathering - Spirit and truth, if you will- birthed other lyrics:
Psalm 118:28
You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You.
I will exalt You
Lord, I will praise You
I will exalt You
You are my God.
Psalm 18:46
The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Psalm 21:13
Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
I will exalt YouPsalm 46:10
And praise Your power
God of salvation
You are my God.
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Lord, be exaltedPsalm 57:5, 11, Psalm 108:5
Among the nations

In all the earth.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
Lord, be exaltedPsalm 99:5
Above the heavens
Let all Your glory
(Be above) all the earth.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.
Matthew 6:9-13
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Yours is the greatness
Power and glory
Yours is the kingdom
Head over all.
…and my journey with Him continues…
