What Truly Matters

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36

This weekโ€™s tragedy with the murder of Charlie Kirk is a painful reminder of how fragile life is. No matter how much we achieve or gain, it can all be gone in a moment. Jesus reminds us that our soul is worth more than every success, possession, or comfort this world can offer. When John the Baptist was killed, Jesus grieved, but He didnโ€™t let anger or despair consume Himโ€”He pressed on with His mission. We are called to do the same: to keep our eyes on Christ, even through heartbreak.

โšกChallenge:
Ask yourself todayโ€”what am I holding onto that wonโ€™t last? Am I letting grief, anger, or worldly pursuits distract me from Christ? Give those things to Him and choose to walk faithfully, no matter the cost.

๐Ÿ™ Prayer:

Lord, help us grieve with hope, guard our hearts from anger, and keep us faithful to Your calling. Amen.
