Interesting that the verses I am studying use the word VALUE. Basically, "NOTHING matters in comparison to the VALUE of Knowing Christ".
Value. Something I struggle with, believe it or not. What makes me valuable? I think I have struggled my entire adult life with this. I am a goal oriented person. Whatever I am accomplishing is what makes me feel valuable.
But I have felt God asking me - "even if you are not successful in ministry, even if you are not successful financially, even if you are not successful by the worlds standards.... 'will I be enough'?
That question has sucked the breath out of me. And my answer showed me that I am not abandoned to Jesus like I used to be. I don't want to think about loss or failure. Yet would He be enough? Can I place my value - not in ministry - not in success - not in stability - but in God alone? It is a renewed process...but I hope I am getting there.
