TODAYS WORD 4U 2DAY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, PART TWO ‘…Fix your gaze directly before you’ Proverbs 4:25 NIV Does the straight path of Proverbs 4:11 feel more like a straitjacket to you? The world jangles and hypnotises us with a bunch of keys that God doesn’t want us to grab. And that’s what the straight path is - not grabbing the world by the shiny, empty things. God wants us to walk that path because it’s the way to a full life in Him. Living for the shiny things of the world will damage you soul and rob you of that full life. And as Matthew 7:14 says: ‘What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?’ It’s a ‘you’re either with me or against me’ deal with God. That’s not because He’s a cling-on (or a Klingon) - it’s because what this world offers is (a cling-on, not Klingon). And He’s come to save us from it. The rich and famous don’t have the answer (have our permission to flick forward to December 3rd’s reading to see what Jim Carrey has to say about that...). ‘Anything goes as long as it makes me happy’ student-flat-style living doesn’t have the answer. Only God can satisfy your soul.
