WEDNESDAY VERSE ✨
I have found that one of our problems in life is that we tend to fall in “love” with many things that are in this world. So often we try to make this earth our home and wonder why we are never fully content. Just as soon as we start to feel comfortable, something happens in our lives that affects that comfort. What I have found that has been most helpful is to have the proper perspective. The apostle John said,
“Do not love the world nor the things 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 of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world! The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:15-17)
Every day there is going to be tug-of-wars in your life. There will be pursuits, challenges, difficulties, distractions, interruptions, etc. that will daily try to pull you away from your relationship with God. God has clearly told us many times that if we place our relationship with Him first in our lives, He then will handle all the other things. He has also promised that we will have that content, secure, and “at home” feeling because we’re looking to Him for our needs and not all these other things in the world.
Here’s to finding our comfort in the security of the Lord today!
