January 3 | Know Jesus

“More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3.8

Reading: Philippians 3

It is one thing to know about or of someone, but completely different to become intimately acquainted with someone.  Jesus wants to have an intimate relationship with us.

Prayer:  Lord, I don’t want to know of you or simply things about You.  I want to know you intensely and intimately.  Let me spend less energy in pursing humanly accomplishments and more energy and time in cultivating an intimate relationship with You.
