Philippians 3:8a,10a
8a: More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord
10a: that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings

Knowing Christ was Paul’s ultimate and uppermost goal. When we run to Christ, pursue him with all our being as the most important goal in our lives, everything else falls into its proper perspective. Our sin is then not something that we believe we need to manage, but rather we cling to Christ to break the power of sin in our lives.

Oh, how I fall short. I try to make it so much more complicated because I want to DO rather than just to KNOW Him. I pray as He continues to sanctify me, that I will rely on His word and our prayer time to know Him more each and every day, counting all other things as loss.

Always praying for the glory of God,
