For What Do You Live?

 

Today's verse is Philippians 1:21

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

    According to this verse, the question really is clear, what is the focus of your life? What is it that you count as gain? What would you count as a loss? By the law, anything that hinders your relationship with the Most High God, whether it be Mother, or Father, or Loved one, a Sister, or Brother, or Wife, or Child, a Son or Daughter, would and should be considered a loss. Many have so fallen to the wayside for such, even as Adam did. But others are charmed by the lure of Gold and Silver, enamored by the riches they represent, and then others, by the allure of the acclaim of others, and in the gain of any of these things, they lose it all. However, we have a option, for there is a Treasure beyond measure in Jesus Christ, and if we place our Trust, and Hope, and Purpose in him, we may or may not have all of the other things, for our Treasure will be stored in Heaven with Christ, therefore our Lives will be full, and our rewards and Fellowship in Christ will be complete. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
