Sold Out by Joan Cook
"...neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing..." 2 Samuel 24:24
As I was driving through a neighborhood close to my home the other day, I could not help but notice the many homes with for sale signs in the front yard. As I thought about the families that were going to be in transition, it made me think of the many Christians that are in the same situation.
As Christians, we should not have a for sale sign across our chest! We should already be "sold out" to Christ! Unfortunately, many of us keep the for sale sign out in our lives waiting for something bigger and better to come along. We think that there has to be something more to life than what we already have. I am afraid many Christians feel unfulfilled, alone and unhappy. They are not letting the Lord take total control and give them the peace and fulfillment that they so desire.
If we are to be sold out to Christ, we must daily yield our will to His, taking the time to study His word and spend time with Him in prayer. Also, we must be willing to go where He sends us and to do what He would have us do.
Are you "sold out" to Christ? You can be! Take the for sale sign down in your life. Do not look to the world for fulfillment, look to Jesus!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that you will be sold out in every area of your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
