Those Who Care Nothing
For Their Life In This World
Will Keep It For Eternity
Scripture
25 Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
Observation
This
past Sunday I had the opportunity to visit my little sister Bea up in Shalimar,
Florida and attend church with her and her family. I heard an amazing story of
a surgeon’s work and ministry in the country of Bangladesh.
This
man could have chosen to work in the US where he could have made a very good
living at a top hospital in one of our major cities, but instead he made the
decision to serve the Lord helping the poorest of the poor in very difficult
conditions.
He
and his wife and people like them are my heroes.
His
motivation for serving and for making this sacrifice is not to just heal a
person’s physical body; it is to see these people come to a saving faith in
Jesus Christ! People that are making this kind of sacrifice need our support
and they need for us to pray for them.
Application
I
will pray for this family. I will support them. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for those serving overseas in countries where life is very
difficult and dangerous. I pray that You protect them. I pray that You use them
to further Your kingdom. I pray for You to call out people from our church to go
and serve all over this world. I pray for Martha Moore as she goes to serve You
Europe. Open up doors for her to have a successful ministry. Bring people into
her life that will help her. Answer all of her prayers. Make her plans
successful. Give her the desires of her heart. I pray for the surgeon that I
met this past Sunday. Bless he and his wife and family. Use them. Protect them.
Help them to raise the support that they need to continue Your work where they
serve!
