DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Sold!
I Kings 21:20a, 25-26a
"And [Elijah] answered, 'I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD:' .... But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up. And he behaved very abominably in following idols...."
Ahab was not a good steward of the life and resources God gave him. He sold himself – gave himself wholly – to doing evil and behaving abominably. He was influenced by his wife, but ultimately, the choice was his. Everyone chooses what he is going to sell himself to – what he is going to spend his life on. The question is whether the profit or return on the sale is worth the cost. I choose to sell myself out to God.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Everyone sells himself out to something – either for evil or for good.
Have a "sold-out" day. Love you.
