“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” How important is knowing Christ for us today? If I had to guess, most of us woke up thinking about something else, but that doesn’t have to stay the most important. “But seek first the Kingdom of Heaven…” Matt 6:33. We can seek Him now. We can spend time with Him until we remember that He is the most important. Please pray that we and our friends trust in Christ today. Please pray for a friend with legal challenges.
