Fruitless Victories

Fruitless Victories…

When I was in high school, a group of us started a rock band. In the process, We skipped lunch every day for a long time and saved enough lunch money to buy a sound system. It was not long afterward that a thief broke in through the window and stole it all – it was about three hundred lunches out the window.

In the same way, there is no shortage of pursuits in life that end up not being worth all the work in the end. The world is filled with people who spend their lives sacrificing their peace, their relationships, their time, their integrity, their joy, even their health and their relationship with God. And for what – money, ambition, status?

What are you spending your life to get, and what are you sacrificing to get it? Is it worth it? Look at your life and be blessed with what you do have! Treasure the time, your loved ones, and all the blessings God’s given you.

Otherwise, you might end up on your death bed regretting all you sacrificed and all you lost…, just a fruitless victory.

Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.  Ecclesiastes 4:4

Are you sacrificing something precious for a goal that is not from the Lord? Correct your path today. And restore that which you sacrificed.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always
