Trail Mix - 4.20.18

4.20.18 – “Jesus made it plain that He would be “Lord of all or not Lord at all!” We cannot serve God and mammon and our Savior said that we should “…seek first the kingdom of God…” Divided loyalties are dangerous just like straddling the center line when you are driving your automobile; you will end up in a ditch or worse you could end up dead! This is especially true spiritually for we cannot “…love this present world…” and give the Lord Jesus what He alone deserves, at the same time. John admonishes us in this regard for we are not to “…love the world nor the things in the world.” S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to put Jesus at the top of your list of priorities!

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV

While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Benson looked out the window. "Good lord!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!" Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side. The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor seemed made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached the package to their backs. "Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?" The pilot said they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?" "There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're going to get help."
