A Bible Devotional 28th April 2023


Keep Your Eyes On The Prize


PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KJV 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


What will really matter at the end of your life on earth?


Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then?


Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did -- or didn't do?


Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies.


It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time.


1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 NIV 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.


Run to win. Win what?


The true prize is to know God intimately and be His friend.


2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.


One day, possibly soon, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that "final reckoning?"


A wise person would not invest everything in something temporary. A wise person invests in something that will last.


Invest your life wisely!


SAY THIS: Lord, help me to keep my eyes on what is important and lasting.

Today's Daily Encounter Wednesday, March 27, 2024 Abandonment Issues — Resolved! My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?... those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!1 There is a seventeen-year age gap between my youngest brother and me. My mom had in me a built-in babysitter and so, my baby sibling and I became very close. However, a year later, when the time came for me to leave home, my brother, who had become very attached to me, found it hard to let me go. Years later, due to the fact that my family was serving in a church in Mexico, I decided to return to my parent's home during my pregnancy to receive maternity care in the States. My brother, now grown, approached me one day and told me how much he enjoyed having me home again, but wasn't sure he could handle it if I abandoned him again! He was joking, of course, as he went on to tell me that he had suffered "abandonment issues" and it was all my fault!   This cute little anal...
