Good day to ya everyone. Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good yes He is good and worthy of our praise. Today I’m going to share to share from a principle I learned early in life; to get something you have to give something up. Let it bless you.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, everyone has the same number of hours in a day. How we use ours will determine the person we become. Whether or not we take time to read Your Word and to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit is a choice that we make daily. Help us see that only by choosing Your way can we be transformed into the likeness of Jesus. Oh Lord, I stand in the gap for all my brothers and sisters everywhere to say that we want to choose life, and live it on Your terms. In the wonderful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
Profit and Loss
Mark 8:34-36
Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
The World gained, to pass away
1 John 2:15-17
Do not love this world or the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
The Soul lost and the loss eternal
Mark 9:43-48
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell with two hands. If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one foot than to be thrown into hell with two feet. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, ‘where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out.’
