Impulses for the Way: 30 Days on the Camino De SantiagoSample

Humility

As you walk or are sitting down, plant your feet firmly on the ground. Relax your muscles and take a few deep breaths. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your time of reflection today.

In the video, Barrett describes God’s kingdom as an upside-down kingdom. While the world’s rulers want to rule through power and force, “Jesus rules through love, goodness, and service.”

Read this Bible passage: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:5-11, NIV).

Read the passage again. What is one word or phrase that stands out to you? Is there a picture that comes to mind?

Read the passage one more time. Take some time to quietly reflect on what God is saying to you.

End with a time of prayer.
