Summary: We live in an age where nothing ever seems to be enough. We are constantly trying to acquire more, make it to the next level, and outdo others. Have you ever noticed this? While there is nothing inherently wrong with things or achievement, we must be sure that we are always seeking to exalt Christ first. We must seek to proclaim His name and give Him glory before anything else. St Augustine said it well, "Jesus Christ is not valued at all until He is valued above all." St Paul writes in Philippians, "Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things." Take Paul's words to heart and exalt Christ first! As you do, you will more effectively reach your world! Don't miss out on God's calling and purpose for your life - the calling to reach as many as possible with His love and forgiveness.
