Day 33 - Surrender Sees Something Greater

Philippians 3:7 - 3:14

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, 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 is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 10:39

39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

What if we really lived out the Biblical truth that says real life is found in surrender?

What if we could see that earthly gains are nothing compared to knowing Christ!?

What if we were free from the temptations of this world because we had something far better?

This is God’s promise to us. What matters is how we respond.

Palm Sunday is the day that people celebrated that Jesus the King was coming- yet it was not as they thought it would be.

What do you need to let go of to grow deeper in your walk with King Jesus? How can you lose yourself in devotion to God?
