Tues Devo: Value

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,
