Forfeiting your Soul

Scripture: Mark 8:36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Observation: How many times I forfeit my soul to gain something in this world. A lie to sell something, justifying taking things from work, listening to a joke I should walk away from, missing an opportunity to witness to someone, not giving to someone so I can have more. Each day seems I trade my soul a little at a time to gain something in this world.

Application: To make my soul “my Character” my most prized possession I have and to never trade it for anything in this world.

Prayer: My Lord guide me this day to make decisions that honor you and keep my soul intact for you.
