Taking Out the Trash
Philippians 3:1-11
Due to the fact that we all live each moment only steps away from the land of Uz in this life, it is important that we know how best to hang onto God. Paul would say that he considers “everything loss” and even “garbage” compared to the “greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” And the pursuit of Christ, the desire to “know” Him, leads to the lifelong battle to consider everything loss for the sake of the cross. That battle will lead from life in Uz to life forever with Him.
