Mark 8:36
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

This is a great question. And if you had asked me this question a year ago, I'd probably tell you that I'd sell my soul to the devil if I could have the whole world.  Man oh man son, I'd have everything any man could ever want. have the world for sure, be running it, sitting at the top.  Then I would find myself someday looking up at the great White Thrown being told my name wasn't in the book of life. Sigh...big sigh. Shouldn't have sold my soul to the devil because now I'll be sent down to the pit of fire with him along with the material world I gained from the trade of my soul which could have been given to God to be in perfect peace, love, and truth for eternity.  Bottom line, I wouldn't and anyone else would profit anything from gaining the world and losing there soul, but torment day and night for eternity.  I am going to give my soul back to God and not worry about anything of this world.

Application:
Today I will pray and focus on serving others and put then before me so I am not distracted by the things I have been thinking about of this world.
