Daily Sacrifice, January 12 (27:46)
“What good shall my life do me?”— Genesis 27:46.
IT was the querulous question of a troubled, dissatisfied mother who had been disappointed in her elder son’s marriage to two heathen women, and who felt that life would no longer be worth-while if her other son followed in the same way. But the question may well be taken up by everyone as we face the exigencies of our days. Life may indeed prove useless if Christ is ignored and God is neglected. The only life that is really worth-while is the life that is given to the Lord and lived to His glory.
