Selling my soul
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Today Josh and I were talking about rappers and the conversation kind of took a turn to people selling their souls to the Devil. Now, I've heard of that term before, but I asked Josh Selling your soul to the Devil? So, how would that happen? and he just told me that they worship and give praise to the Devil. This was interesting because Josh told me that an example of this would be someone doing this to become more successful in their careers (and in this case, some particular rapper/s). Josh reminded me that the Enemy has "free-range" of the world; in essence, he can do whatever he wants, and I guess that those that "sell their souls to the Devil," are pretty much going to be "successful;" BUT has really come to steal, kill, and destroy. However, Christians are protected by God. They cannot be touched. For everyone else, the Enemy has control over their lives and can make any move he wants (including making them "successful"). It might seem sensible to some people, but this success, wealth, or whatever else might be given is only tempoary. It was very reassuring to hear this because it reminds me that God has promised us eternal life. He has promised to give us a life that, although it might not be full of riches or success now, will be blessed and will live with those things for eternity.
I don't know about you, but boy am I glad to have "sold my soul to God . . . " the One and Only God!

I'm glad - too. It's the best thing we have going for us! It's the one thing that makes all the difference. We are truly blessed.
