“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37

I parked my car at the grocery store today and God spoke this verse to me. God told me it is very easy to lose track of your priorities in the pursuit of money. Greed creeps in through the insidious work of Satan.

We all want to be cozy and secure in the world. There is nothing wrong in working diligently to meet your materialistic needs. The sticky issue deals with your priorities.

God wants you to be productive working under the authority of the Holy Spirit. You must commit your works to God each day and seek His wisdom. God must come first in your every endeavor. Live in harmony with God and nourish your soul with prayer, the Word of God, and listening for His voice.

There is nothing you can trade of any value in the world to please God. He wants all of you with an open heart to seek His will for your life.

Your motives must be to please God and operate with integrity and the values of Jesus. He desires to embellish your labors and give you more than you ask or think.

Jesus said man small not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Have you integrated your work under the authority of the words of God?
