Devotion:
Read Luke 18:18-25.
A rich man who is faithful in following all the commandments finds out that he still is lacking spiritually because he can’t give up his wealth to follow Jesus. This man’s wealth made his life comfortable and gave him power and prestige. When Jesus told him to sell everything he owned, Jesus was touching the very basis of his security and identity. The man didn’t understand that what Jesus offered was so much more.
Jesus doesn’t ask all believers to sell everything they have, although this may be true for some. He does ask us all to get rid of anything that has become more important than God. If your basis for security has shifted from God to what you own, it would be better for you to get rid of those possessions.
Personal Worship Option:
What is most important to you? What would Jesus say to you today?
