Do you find it hard to be kind and gracious when tired, in pain, or weak? Is it hard not to be grouchy when the tedium of isolation gets to be too much? Is it hard to say “Yes” to God when what is happening is uncomfortable?

Jesus is our example even in our distress. He left Heaven and all its glory to come to earth as a human. He, the Son of God, became human for us. He humbled Himself to come to earth. As He did, the way He walked through this helps us know how to walk through it as well. He was obedient to all God asked of Him.

Philippians 2:5-8

^“5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶ Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷ But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
