1 John 2:15-17
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love 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 pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
Love not the world.
Oh how we need to heed these words today. How many of us get so wrapped up in
the world around us and forget who we are and who's we are. If you are a child
of God never let that glorious thought leave your mind.
What a shame on His
Holy name we can be at times. Lest we forget, we must remember why our Lord,
the very Son of God, died on the tree. He died to save us from all our sins.
Past, present, and future sins. Yet we live our lives like we have no knowledge
of Him and His sacrifice for us. O what a shame we are! What false witnesses we
become at times. Even those unsaved out there cannot recognize us as being
different from them at times. No wonder we fit in so well with them.
O child of God I
beg you today to leave the lust of this world and run back to our Heavenly
Father. Leave the life of sin you have fallen into. Seek Him who has forgiven
your sins. Get on your knees and beg our Father for mercy.
Pray one for
another. If you know others who are following after the world. Pray for our
brothers and sisters. Pray that the Lord will convict them of their sin and
cause them to repent. Pray He shows mercy on them and those around them. Often
times we forget that our sins not only effect us but they also effect those
near us.
Never forget who
you are and who's you are. You are a child of the King!!! You have a Heavenly
Father who loves you so much He sent His only begotten Son to die for you. And
all He asks is that we follow His commandments. And those commandments are not
grievous if we love Him and will simply follow Him.
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
