IT MIGHT BE ME
Today's reading: Luke 9-10

"And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose or forfeit your own soul in the process?" Luke 9:25 NLT

I'll be transparent this morning. I've never really thought this verse spoke to my heart. I would conjure up snapshots in my head of people who might be 'poster kids' for this particular part of Scripture, but never was it a shot of me!

Judgemental of me? Perhaps. Conceited of me? Quite possibly. Wrong of me? Absolutely!

It's not just the multi-million dollar business man who sells his soul to the devil to reach the top faster.

It's not only the rock star who falls for the lies of satan.

It's not limited to the broken souls who sell themselves, because they feel unworthy.

It might be me.

Anytime I compromise, it might be me!

Choosing less than best. Selecting below what He provides. Making decisions based on how I feel, what I want or what's going to be easiest.

Every choice I make is placed before me by God. He provides a way out that is good, that is pleasing to Him, that may need to be uncovered in prayer--but it's always there.
