yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ
everything that we gain, every position that we achieve means nothing when we don't use it to further the truth of Jesus Christ! so often I can get caught up in things that I want to achieve or own, but how do those things further the kingdom? that's what I have to take into account or else they will parish just like everything else! and that's how my attitude should be, an attitude of desiring to further the kingdom of God and just wanting to serve him. does a servant get caught up or distracted by possessions or positions? the answer is no, he's just focused on doing what he's told to do. also all the things that I have gained, they mean nothing if they keep me from Christ. ALL I need... is Christ!
application
for the next three days I will wake up an hour earlier then normal (5) so I'll have more time to do my devotions
