Today we read 2 Samuel 4 &5, Psalm 139, and Matthew 16.
After a lot of rain, a missed flight, and another delayed one, I made my arrival in Kansas City about 1 AM. Atlanta airport is a sight to see when everybody is running late and planes are not working right. However, I wake up this morning a little later but overlooking the city and thankful for the sunshine.
I also wake up to read one of the most introspective passages that we have the opportunity to read. Jesus asked the question in Matthew 16.26 -For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
I think about that from two angles this morning.
The first is the most obvious: a person ought to invest his/her life in Christ and seek Him, instead of the things of the world.
However, I also think about the Christian who has invested his/her life in Christ. Should we merely profit eternally by burying the treasure that God has given us in Christ? Or should we profit daily by enjoying the investment by sharing it, soaking it up, and living in response to it?
Let's Chose the Latter and live in the Son!
