LOSERS ARE THE REAL WINNERS

 
Matthew 10:39
 
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." ESV 
 
Everyone wants to find and know their own identity. We go on a variety of quests to find out who we are. The Bible tells us not to do that. If we do, we will find ourselves forever running into a brick wall. To really know who we are, we will seek the Lord with our whole hearts. He tells us if we seek him we will find Him. In finding Him we find ourselves because we are His children.
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for chasing after various things hoping we will find our true selves. Give us hunger to know You so that we will know ourselves, because You have made us Your children. That is where our identities are.

WHO AM I AND WHY AM I HERE?

 
Matthew 16:25
 
"For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." ESV 
 
To find purpose in our lives, we search diligently for self-identity, who we are, and why we are here. In this process, we go from place to place, idea to idea, following all sorts of trends and philosophies. It becomes frustrating to find our persistent attempts are dead end roads. We find ourselves still as lost and unidentified as we did before. Our true identity is not something we can find on our own. Isn't it logical that we would seek the One who made us, seeking Him and who He is? If we do this, we miraculously find ourselves, knowing who we are. So, if we want to find our identities, know who we are, and what our purpose in life is, we will seek God. It is there we will find identity and purpose.
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for trying to seek out our own purpose in this world and for looking in all the wrong places. Thank You for giving us the freedom to seek You and find You so that we will know who we are by knowing You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

BE ALERT FOR FALLING ROCKS

 
2 John 1:8
 
"Watch yourselves so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward." ESV
 
There is no room for complacency in the Christian life. We are warned over and over to be alert to the dangers that destroy our faith. Living in the Spirit every day will keep us alert and ready on that day when He comes bringing the reward He promised to us.
 
Heavenly Father, we ask you to help us to walk in Your Holy Spirit, that we will be wise and alert. Help us to stand strong and to not fall into the things of this world that rob us of our faith. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
