The scripture for today, March 8, is Philippians 3:8 as found in the New Testament of the Bible:
Wow! Paul, who wrote this, considered everything he had previously owned and every position he had ever held as rubbish ~ garbage ~ compared with belonging to his Lord. Paul apparently came from a well-to-do family since he was born in today’s Turkey but went to school in Jerusalem. He also apparently held a position in the Jewish ruling body, the Sanhedrin, since he could vote on whether to execute someone. So he probably owned a lot of things and had an honored position.
The King James Version of the Bible says he considered it all as dung ~ manure.
Where are your priorities? What do you spend most of your time on? The things you just have to own, physical pleasures you just have to have, the power you just have to claim? All to enhance the little inch of your life on earth? Or the deep and unconquerable love of Christ Jesus your Lord who will enhance your eternity?
Your inspiration is non-stoppable.
Thank you for your kind words. I encourages me, knowing what I write touches hearts. That is all that matters.
