Priorities of the Soul - June 20, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, June 20 - Priorities of the Soul   Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me hear Your heart. Help me have Your heart, as I entrust my life and my day to You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...   “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36)   I’ve had much, and I’ve had little. I’ve lived in a mansion, and I’ve lived in a cabin. I’ve tasted and seen the things of this world, and I’ve tasted and seen the things of God. I’ve passionately pursued the hopes and dreams of my culture, and I’ve come to find my peace and pleasure in the One whom my soul loves (Song of Solomon 3:4).   Thank You for taking hold of my heart and giving me a heart to take hold of You. Thank you for aligning my soul with the priorities of heaven and putting a heart for heaven in my soul.   It’s so freeing to my heart to pray, “Your kingdom come” instead of trying to build my own. It’s so restful to my soul to pray, “Your will be done” instead of insisting on my own (Matthew 6:10).   As it turns out, the kingdom that really matters, the whole world that really worth pursuing, is right here within me, as I entrust my plans, my hopes, my dreams, my priorities of my life to You. “The kingdom of God is within (me)” (Luke 17:21). “For the kingdom of God is ... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).   By the grace of God, by the salvation of my soul, that’s the kingdom I’m pursuing. That’s the kingdom I want to come and the will of God I want to be done -- here on earth, here in my heart, here in the priorities of my soul each and every day, as it is in heaven. For what good would it be to gain the whole world and all this broken and fallen world has to offer, but to lose my own soul? ... In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays   My friends, may you be at rest in your soul with the priorities of heaven in your heart, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
