I lead a rather busy life. Very easily, I find myself segmenting each component, trying to organize and get everything done. Too often this includes placing God into particular portions of my life while leaving Him out of others.
Of course I know this isn't right and isn't what He wants or deserves from me. It's just that I get going trying to get everything done and somehow decide that I am the only one that can do it all, or at least do it all properly.
I want to give Him entrance into, and even control over, every aspect of my life. This week, through my verse meditation, I'd like to focus on this. I think that if, in addition to thinking about the words of the verse, I have a focused application, I will gain a deeper understanding of His Word.
This week, I'll be meditating on Philippians 3:8.
Philippians 3:8-11 (ESV)
8 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 9 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— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
