"For
whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my
sake will find it, for what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and loses his soul? In exchange for your soul? " Matthew 16: 25,26
For God the
success of a man is not measured by economic and financial prosperity. For God,
a man's success is measured by a soul that reflects the character of Christ
(Romans 8:29), by a soul that produces the fruits of the Spirit (Ephesians 1:
13,14). We need to consecrate our lives to God, to know our purpose and to
practice good works. Otherwise we will be lost, being carried by the winds of
this life, from one side to another, with nothing to offer on the day of the
Judgment of God.
"Love not
the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the Father's love is not in him. " 1 John 2:15
Prayer: Lord
God, I know that my life is worth more than the whole world, because it would
do no good to gain the whole world and lose my life. That is why I thank the
Lord for bringing me life, putting me in this world and establishing a purpose
for me. Help me to know His will for my life, to practice these works, and not
to be carried around, involved with the things of this world that are fleeting.
I want to accumulate my treasure in the Kingdom of Heaven that is eternal. I
pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
