Re:Verse passage – Philippians 2:5-11 (day four)
“At the name of Jesus every knee will bow”…Isaiah was the first to say this. People of all ages have had idols…made of wood, iron, silver or gold. The idols each represent some area of rebellion against God. What Isaiah…and now, in our passage, Paul…is saying, is that there will come a day when the truth will be known. People will recognize that God is the one righteous, creator God. All of their pretense and sin will be stripped away and they will see clearly their folly in opposing God. They will fall to their knees in fear and shame and guilt.
Where are the idols in your life? Where have you opposed the truth of God? What is blinding you from the glory of God? Ask God to search your heart and reveal to you where your idols are hiding. It is much better to surrender to God voluntarily rather than wait for the day when shame is forced upon you on the day the name of Jesus is proclaimed in heaven and earth.
