WPP-owned research company Millward Brown puts Apple at number one in its annual top 100 global brand power list, Brandz, up from third place in 2009, with an 84% increase in its estimated value to $153bn (£93bn).

Philippians 3:7-9 (NLT)
7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.
What does today's God's Story scripture teach us about our worth?
Check out what the Life Application Study Bible notes have to say about verse 8 ...
After Paul considered everything he had accomplished in his life, he said that it was all "worthless" when compared with the greatness of knowing Jesus. This is a profound statement about values: A person's relationship with Jesus is more important than anything else. To know Jesus should be our ultimate goal.
How can I connect today's God's Story scripture to My Life?
Take some time today to think about your own values? Do you consider your own relationship with Jesus worth more than anything in this entire world? If you had built a multi-billion dollar company, would you be able to say you consider it "'worthless' when compared with the greatness of knowing Jesus"?
How can I connect Today's Story, My Story, and God's Story to Others?
Ask a friend today if they heard about Today's Story. Ask them what they would do if they built a multi-billion dollar company. Talk with them about the infinite value of knowing Jesus.
