Philippians 3:8 "Yes, everything else is worthless compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord."
Philippians chapter three is amazing! In verse eight, Paul considers everything he's earned and achieved as worthless compared with the relationship he has with Christ. And Paul had earned and achieved a lot! Yet none of it, not one line on his resume comes close to the value of knowing Jesus.
I've read this verse dozens of times. I've memorized it. Yet today it hit me like a ton of bricks-scripture has a way of doing that. Everything I've accomplished and attained really doesn't matter one iota unless I know Jesus. That's all that matters. This helps put things in perspective. Thanks Paul. Today I need to focus on what matters most and it's not my resume or my bank account, it's Jesus.
Dear Jesus, thank you for your word. Become greater in my life. Amen.
