​ The apostle Paul stated, “but one thing I do...” (Phlp. 3:13). In this chapter, Paul talked about himself. He listed something of his heritage in vs. 4-6. He noted that, from a purely physical perspective, he had excellent credentials. He could trace his bloodline back to the tribe of Benjamin, and that bloodline was pure, his being a Hebrew born of Hebrew parents. As far as his spiritual credentials were concerned, as they appeared on the surface, his were most impressive.

The Psalmist said, “We spend our days as a tale that is told” (Psalm 90:9). It's a fitting description of life, isn't it? We do indeed spend our days as a tale that is told. There are several things about that that I like. Let me explain.

(From Diligently Seeking God)

For to me, the live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.
For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
Philippians 1:21-24

By Erika Kimberly When I was younger, my parents always told me “just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.” I was, naturally, a very cautious child, but this teaching gave me greater pause. I became even more reflective questioning my motivation for what I was doing, why I was doing it, and ultimately analyzing how I was doing it.

Timothy and Epaphroditus were faithful fellow-workers of the apostle Paul while he was a prisoner in Rome. Timothy had served Paul in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father, and Paul looked on him as his child in the Lord – 1 Cor. 4:17.

Thus, I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
When I remember You on my bed, I mediate
On You in the night watches. Psalm 63:4-6
