109 You may be a brave warrior, a famous person, or a head of a successful family---all the reasons for success in our world today. But what did you do with your soul? #60000thoughts #talkingtomyself
Warriors. The Famous. The Heads. They all look good on paper. But God looks at their hearts. And He is looking at my heart and yours. This very day.
I may not know all the right things to win the battle but I know how to win the war on my soul. Satan has no hand, no snatch, no grip, no clutch. None. May that Warrior Spirit from within rise up to fight our battles this day, forward!
I am reminded of the NT verse: What does it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your soul? 1 Chronicles 5:24-25. "But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land."
PHOTO: Outside my classroom window of 14 years where I stopped to pray each day. I walked away from it May 2022 because of the stress of it all in a 10-hour per day job with no breaks. I have missed it way more than I dreamed but not for the reasons I left. This year has been one of the hardest years of my life. May I not ask for a thing before I utter the awe in prayer. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. All the measures of success in the eyes of this world. But what did they do with their souls?
