Christian Devotional – April 14, 2015

Read Philippians chapter 3

VERSE:

Philippians 3:7–But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

TRUTH:

Any accomplishment or accolade that we receive as a result of work we’ve done on our own is nothing now since the only thing that matters is Christ. Through our relationship with Christ, we have come to know and understand that only the things which are done for Christ and through Christ will last; anything else will fall away. Are we striving today for things which will be gain for Christ or are we focused on anything else? Anything else is considered loss for Christ.

RESPONSE:

Father, I am focused on You and You alone. I desire that all I have and all I want be only what You desire. I only want to focus on things that would be considered gains for Christ. Guide my focus today.
