All for Him
Thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. Acts 16:24
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2 Timothy 2:9
Paul knew about stocks and bonds, but not the kind we think of. His view of worldly gain? “I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Phil. 3:8). Destitute in a dungeon, he wrote, “I have all” (Phil. 4:18). “I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die...for the name of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 21:13). Were we willing to be acquainted with Paul’s kind of stocks and bonds, we too might set the world on fire!

All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken, take me Jesus, take me now.
