Scripture: Mark 8: [35] For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.<\/p>\n
Observation: I continue to want to do things my way focusing on the things of this world. I pray God\u2019s direction but I don\u2019t hear Him because I\u2019m so busy thinking of other things. I tell God I want to do His will yet I continue doing mine. I have but one purpose in this life and it can only be fulfilled through Christ. My pastor told me yesterday I have the gift of evangelism yet I don\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to start doing more things for Christ and let Him speak to me as I\u2019m doing them. I won\u2019t hear Him on the couch watching TV or busy doing things in this world, only when I\u2019m serving Him or quite meditating on His word.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord, I offer you this life as a living sacrifice. Use it as you will, may you fulfill your purpose for me and may I complete this race in glory and honor to You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
