Reflection
Points:
Read today's key verse, Philippians 1:21. What do you think Paul means when he says, "to live is Christ"?
How does Paul's view of life differ from those who aren't passionate about their faith in Jesus?
What difference does your personal faith in Jesus make in your attitude toward suffering?
Why is earthly success an empty victory?
How would God define victory in your life?
Power
Verses:
Matthew 16:24-25, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.'" (NIV)
Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (NIV)
Ecclesiastes 2:11, "Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun." (NIV)
Hebrew 10:5-7, "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, 'Here I am-it is written about me in the scroll- I have come to do your will, O God.'" (NIV)
