When Nothing You Do Brings a Profit "Bodily exercise profits little, but godliness is profitable unto all gain." 1 Timothy 4:8 This verse is one of my most favorite verses. There are many more powerful and sacred verses that I love but, this one is important to me because it is so practical. It speaks to the business of making a profit. For most businesses, one of their main objectives is this very same goal. Making a profit as well as the degree to which that profit increases over time is a core objective. Profit, by definition, means 'a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something.' It's a benchmark of success and the increase and consistency of such are of paramount importance. This verse relates this very concept towards everyday life. It compares said physical activities, such as the work we do, schooling, socializing, exercising and so on, and measures it against living godly. By this measure used, the profit would be achieved by one's godly living, rather than the alternative. So the question to you and me is this - Are you making a profit with your life from God's perspective? How would you measure your level of godliness? Is it at a profitable level? Or are you making a loss or barely breaking even? As long as today is still called 'TODAY' and now still called 'NOW,' I believe we owe it to the CEO of our lives to assess where we are in our daily living. I believe this should be important above all other plans, agendas, and objectives. For if only in this life a profit is to be made then a grave loss it would be if the eternity in Heaven thereafter was never attained. I believe this is the most sacred, most life-changing and eternity-saving opportunity for each of us to measure our life against the call to live godly before men and God. It must be done today, and even more importantly, it must be done honestly, humbly and consistently. Let us sincerely measure our worth before Him, humbly confess to Him where our failings exist and be willing to give Him the Lordship of our lives, so that we may truly be empowered by His Holy Spirit to live Holy an https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v_SYqBFgG/?igshid=1gpr15mmzjmby
