Today's Verse - Mark 8:36 (KJV)

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

—Mark 8:36 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

We chase after so many different things. Only one thing is needful. Having a fist full of dollars, a great estate, and lots of prestige doesn't mean a whole lot if you've gone to your ultimate address without the Lord. Even worse is to find that in the middle of your busy-ness, you awake to find yourself in the barren land where Christ does not dwell and life is not found. Let's not lose our life, our soul, our meaning, chasing after what is not lasting.

My Prayer...​

Father, help me to keep my priorities right, my life holy, and my heart open to your will rather than being blinded with my own self-seeking. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

We will not take anything from earth to heaven. Our faithfulness to God and the obedience to His word will enter His glorious presence.
