Day 110 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: 1 Samuel 30,31; Luke 17:20-37)
LOSERS KEEPERS
“Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.” (Luke 17:33 ESV)
“Finders keepers, losers weepers,” is the selfish response when someone finds something lost by someone else. For followers of Jesus, it is just the opposite. Those who try to find (preserve) their lives are losers, while those who lose their lives for Jesus, are winners.
The key is putting Jesus first by
● trusting Him,
● repenting of our sins, and
● serving Him as we help others.
When we live for ourselves, ignoring God, we risk losing everything. When we live for God, we win everything.
Those who die without Christ, are eternal losers. Those who die trusting in Christ for forgiveness are eternal winners
Heavenly Father, thank You for making me a winner by giving me saving faith in Christ Jesus. Please use me today to share my victory with others. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
