What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his very soul?
— Mark 8:36 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...We chase after so many different things. Only one thing is needful.

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.
