And
What Do You Benefit If You Gain The Whole World
But
Lose
Your Soul? Is Anything Worth More Than Your Soul?
Scripture
Matthew
16
26 And
what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own
soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
Observation
I
am trying to write this blog in the dark. We have to be at a park
early this morning for a birthday party for two of our
granddaughter's so I had to get up at 5 instead of 6 this morning. My
laptop and the little desk where I have my quiet time are in the
bedroom and Kathy is still asleep. Kathy came to bed late last night
because she was working on stuff for the birthday party.
Anyway,
“Good morning!” Top of the world to you! …
Is
anything worth more than my soul? … Just the fact that I can read
that question is proof to me that God has created and designed me and
has given me a soul that will live forever. Who gave me and who gave
you the ability to think and to have all of the thoughts that we have
– it was God.
This
tent that I am living in is definitely wearing out. When I woke up a
few minutes ago I immediately felt several familiar aches and pains.
One day this old tent that I live in will totally and completely give
out, but my soul will live forever.
And
I know that I am going to get a new body that is never going to wear
out!
Psalm
139
1 O Lord,
you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
and know everything about me.
Application
Nothing
is worth more than my soul!
How
about you? How are you investing your time?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I was created to live
forever with You. This Earth is not my home. I am just passing
through. These present troubles are small potatoes and don't compare
to what I get to experience when I am in Heaven with You.
Psalm
139
14 Thank you
for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You
watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw
me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
18 I
can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
