LOVE WORTH FINDING DEVOTIONAL – MESSAGE FOR TODAY.
A gambler is depending upon chance. The Bible says we’re to rest upon God’s providence. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” You say, but Pastor, look, I have ten bucks. If I want to spend it on gambling, if I want to spend it on ice cream, that’s my business. It’s just recreation to me. I don’t care if I lose it. Do you know who you’re thinking about? The center of your argument is you. That’s the whole point. You are not thinking of other people. Now, you’re putting your confidence in chance, and you’re putting your motivation in yourself.True recreation will relax, refresh, and renew. I was in a casino when I went down to the Bahamas to witness to Mohammed Ali. I went there to talk to him about Jesus and did, but he was staying at a place called Paradise Island. As I walked through, I looked at the people. I have never seen such a grim bunch of people in my life. It was clearly not relaxing or rejuvenating to any of them; they all looked so empty. Jesus shows us repeatedly, things that look so promising and pleasant often leave us empty. Fulfillment is found in Him.- What is something of the world you tried that did not satisfy?
- Why do you think we move toward things that do not satisfy? How can you move toward God instead?
