Philippians 3:7-9 “But whatever things were gain to me,
those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than
that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ
Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, ” (NASB)
Hello,
As I have been reading through Philippians this week, the
word that stuck out to me here was value. In my work I tend to speak of value
and focus on bringing value to our customers with our services, so it certainly
made me take a second look at this section of verses. One question I believe
this begs us to ask is simple – how do we value our relationship with Jesus?
Value can be spoken of – but how is it proven? Among other
items, it certainly is proven through the amount of attention we pay to that
which we claim to value, and what we are willing to exchange to get/maintain
that item of value.
Again, how much do we value our relationship with Jesus? Are
we giving it attention? Are we un-concerned with the things of this world that
He has called us to give up?
I hope these questions challenge you today, and draw you
closer to Him.
Have a blessed day,
