Are You Trying To Keep The Unkeepable?

The irony in life. Those that care about “saving face”, but deceive others, receive disgrace. And those that choose humility, trusting God in all things, might still receive disgrace from the world, but God removes the “dis” (in disgrace), leaving you with grace. Popularity is a strange creature; you must keep feeding it in order for it to grow. Yet one false move, one deceptive selfish ploy, one slack in good judgement, and it all disappears in the blink of an eye. I guess Jim Elliot summarized it best when He said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” The problem (and irony of it) is when someone tries to keep what he can’t keep and loses what he could’ve kept forever. Where are your priorities? Are you trying to keep the unkeepable, and missing out on the eternal?

3 No one who trusts in You will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. Psalms 25:3
