Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]–these do not come from the Father, but are from the world.
1 JOHN 2:15-16 AMP
Praise God for the blessings of a brand new day, may the joy of the Lord be with you throughout the day.
As children of God, we live in this world but we are not of the world. Thank God for the Word that is admonishing us not to put our trust and our all in the things of this world. Love not the world and the things thereof, these are the sensual and lustful stuff that can separate us from our God.
Let us be heavenly minded, think about God and His Word which will keep us from sinning against God.
May we be lovers of the Lord through and through, may great grace abound towards us as we seek to lift up Jesus in this world so He will draw all men, women, boys and girls to Himself in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
