True riches in Knowing Christ in my life Philippians 3:7-8



True riches in Knowing Christ in my life Philippians 3:7-8

Lord, I would not trade knowing you in my life, for the riches, or wealth of this world! Gold, silver, jewels and abundant wealth in this life, can never compare to knowing you, Jesus, everyday of my life.

So I can be a guest at a royal wedding; and view all the riches and opulence, and turn to it and despise the covet tempter; and Then, turn to Jesus, and say, "Lord, I do not want this", I am glad I have you and I know you, thank you, for being with me."

Philippians 3:7-8 7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 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. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

Proverbs 3:13-18
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
