This morning I was with my men’s group. We are going thru the book of Proverbs and we also spend time discussing life in general. How are we doing and how do we need encouragement, how can we pray for each other etc.
We have been dealing with the whole concept of chasing after the world and what are the rewards for that, or maybe what are the penalties for that.
Today a paraphrase of many Biblical concepts came to our mind. Be advised, the quote is a bit course, but it really sums up our thoughts and I think it also sums up scripture. We blurted out…
“Chase after crap; feel like crap”
After that was out on the table, we just laughed and laughed. We could not stop laughing. This is a slightly course way of summing up a very deep truth.
Our happiness stems from keeping the most important commandment first.
“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
So our little quote helped to put this truth back into perspective for us today, I hope it does the same for you.
