Boasting
Read Philippians 3.1-14
“.. the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord ..” (Phil.3.8)
While others boasted about their qualifications or accomplishments, Paul would boast only of the Lord. Knowing Jesus Christ as Lord in his life paled everything else into total insignificance. Since his conversion this was the all-consuming passion of his heart.
What are the things which compete in your affections with the desire you have to know Jesus better?
What steps are you taking to know Jesus better?
Prayer: One thing I ask from You, O Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in Your house all the days of my life, to gaze upon Your beauty (Ps.27)
