Scripture: Mark 8:36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? (NIV)
Scripture: Daily, I focus on achieving balance in my life (or getting as close to it as possible!). It’s so easy to get caught up in our various work schedules & being driven to succeed that balance seems far off.
Then I’m reminded that God has given us life to enjoy; this doesn’t consist of work only. Especially since our goals should be to love & praise God, live the life He’s given us to the fullest, & to seek His will for our lives.
“What good is it to gain the whole world?” without having God in our lives. Work, schedules, careers, etc. won’t save our souls, but knowing our Lord & Savior will. We all must seek balance in the lives we’ve been blessed with; God continues to work out the details, we must be willing to let Him lead. Our souls are on the line!!
