How will I spend my life?

Morning: Psalm 80; Deuteronomy 8:1-10; James 1:1-15
Evening: Psalm 77; Leviticus 25:35-55; Luke 9:18-27
After revealing himself as the Messiah, Jesus said, unexpectedly, that he must suffer and die; but he would be raised on the third day.  His followers must be ready to face hardship too, and to offer their lives in service to God’s ways. If we spend our lives generously serving God’s purposes, Jesus says we will live full lives. But if we are stingy with our lives, then we won’t really be living. Poet Mary Oliver asks: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”  What question could be more important?
