Just One Thing!
When Jesus heard this, he said to the leader, "But there is
still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have
and give the money to the poor people. You will have a reward
in heaven. Then come and follow me!" But when the man heard
this, he was very sad. The man was very rich {and wanted to
keep his money.}
-- Luke 18:22-23 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Our one thing can be awfully huge. For the rich young man, the one
thing Jesus called him to surrender was huge. Clearly, this story
impacts us at two levels. It calls us to be generous and understand the
heart of God toward us and others. However, it also asks us to look at
our life circumstances and determine what the one thing most difficult
for us to give up for Jesus would be. Then it calls us to give it up.
So the message for you and me, dear friend, is this: that we must be
generous and we must not let anything interfere with our wholehearted
devotion to the Lord Jesus.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Dear Father in heaven, please never, ever, let anything crowd into my
heart and become a rivalry to your Son. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
