Don't Pierce Your Soul With Sorrow
The enemy thinks everybody can be bought... & He has a point. He even thought Jesus could be bought... and offered Christ the world for his allegiance. Matthew 4:9 BUT... The Truth Is...
.
All the money and riches of this world can't satisfy the human heart & soul & spirit. The only thing that can... is love... and the greatest love is the Love of God.
.
That's why Abraham was willing to give up his son Issac...
Why Moses could leave the palace & riches of Egypt...
Why David would not kill God's anointed leader... King Saul...
Why Peter could leave his boat and fishing business...
Why Matthew could walk away from his tax collecting gig...
Why Paul could leave his lofty respectable position in the temple.
.
They could see there was much more than just this dog eat dog world... they could see that the here and now is only temporary. They were willing to give up everything because they valued something more. Hebrews 11
.
Personally... I do have a price that I'd sell out for. That Price...
Is Heaven. I'd give up everything for it. "This world is not my home... I'm just a passin' through." How @ you? What do you value most? What do you spend most of your time on? James 4:14
.
"Seek ye 1st the Kingdom of God & all of His righteousness... then all these things will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
.
Put Him 1st & You Will Get All This & Heaven Too.
