The passage I read was Philippians 2:5-11
You can find that passage here:

The verse that most stood out to me:
The whole thing.. ;0D
As I reflect:
I think every portion of this passage is a memorization verse. Lol. This is just an incredible passage that not only reminds me of the example that Jesus is to everyone that claims discipleship after Him, but also how we ought to treat one another.
This passage teaches me humility, and that in being humble I am lifted up by my God. It teaches me to be obedient no matter the cost because it is better to be obedient and lose everything but God, than to be disobedient and have everything but Him. It reminds me of not only who I am but also who I serve; that if He can become so lowly for me, I ought to become all the more lowly for my fellow human, being a good example of willing servitude; that He who gave His life for me wants me to lay my life down for the sake of others seeing Him. This is not supposed to be just a onetime reminder, but a daily reminder of how one who follows after Jesus ought to live themselves as a reflection of Him to this world. Our values are better shown then told.
My response to the Lord:
Help me to be a light for you Father God. I am so often tossed and turned by the waves that I forget my purpose and begin to live for myself. May you guide me always to be humble and keep a servant’s heart that others may see you in me, for I alone am nothing worthy of sharing, but it is you in me that gives me value. May I remember where the treasure lies in this broken clay. In Jesus’ name.
