Daily CLC Prayer verse

“And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'” And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:18-23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Luke says, “But when he heard these things, he became very sad”. Does God ever point out something in which you are dependent or you have put above Him. Are you initially sad or glad?  For me, it’s sadness and I really don’t see God’s wisdom in denying it, however, when I do obey, my eyes are opened and I can see. Please pray that we and our friends obey God in the one area where He is convicting us. Please pray for Doug and Michael.
