Do You Want Your Soul?
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
Psalm 126:5-6

Ponder This
Did you know that the devil desires your soul and God desires your soul? How can we tell whether a thing is desirable or not? By the price someone will pay for it. Jesus, with His precious blood on the cross, died that a soul might be redeemed. Any appraiser will tell you the value of a piece of property is this: what someone else will pay for it.
I have an evangelist friend who was wasting his life. He was unsaved before he became an evangelist and before Christ took hold of him. He was throwing his life away, and somebody said to him, “Mike, if you had something that you didn’t want, but somebody else wanted it very much, rather than just throwing it away, would you give it to him?” Mike said, “Sure.” The man said, “Mike, you’re throwing your life away. Jesus wants your soul. Your soul is desirable.” A soul is desirable. Jesus paid His rich, red, royal blood for a soul.
- How are you reminded of the value of a soul, both yours and others, by today’s devotion?
- How should the worth of a soul motivate us to share Jesus with others?
Practice This
Take time this week to share with another person what his or her soul is worth to Jesus.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
