For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?  (Mark 8:36-37 NKJV)

A couple of days ago, we had our end-of year celebration at work. At the beginning of the Event, they announced that one of our colleagues has passed away a day before. We were therefore asked to be silent for one Minute in remembrance of him and the Event continued as planned. There was a lot to eat and drink and most people really had fun.

During the Event, I kept pondering on the colleague who has passed away and the fact that it didn’t stop the celebration. This made me realize that there are much more important things to life than our jobs. Please, don’t misunderstand me! I am not saying that a Believer should not have a secular Job.

I am firm Believer of the scripture that says, “…that if any would not work, neither should he eat (2 Thess 3:10)”. I believe that every Believer who is not called into full-time Ministry should have a secular Job and work diligently so he can provide for his family and also be able to give to the poor and in support of the Gospel.

However, we have to be very careful, so our secular Jobs do not become our “god”. This is because I know so many people here in Europe who worship their Jobs. These people do not have time to seek the Lord and build a good relationship with Him. Let’s not forget that we will leave our Jobs and all the earthy possessions behind (Heb 9:27). In the end, we will stand before the Lord and what will matter is whether we had a relationship with Him or not (Rev 20:15).

Beloved in the Lord, all the earthly possessions will fade away or will be left behind. Let’s therefore find time amidst our busy schedules to seek the Lord and build a good relationship with Him. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word. Let’s pray for Mercy and salvation of souls for all unbelievers around the world.

God bless you all!
