Know True Value

Good Morning!! Value changes, think of what you called valuable. As years pass, what once was your treasure turns into your trash. In my basement I found all the trophies I had won in past years of athletic competition. There they were in the way needing to be thrown out. I now remember the blood, sweat, and tears that had gone into gaining those awards, yet now I had put them in a box, in a corner, waiting for the trash. They no longer have any value to me.
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.—Philippians 3:7 (NIV)

And so it will be at the end of our lives, all our possessions,...the things we've spent a lifetime working for, will be nothing but junk. That's when we'll surely know that the best things, in life are not things. But we can have the right perspective now, as Paul did. "What things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ" (Philippians 3:7). We can keep a proper attitude about our possessions,...because we possess the surpassing greatness, of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord.

Our greatest riches are the wealth we have in Christ.

Father God, all that we have, all that we are, all that we will have or be, is in You,...remind us, that is always more than enough. Amen.

"Worship is an honest admission that God, is greater than we are."
