VERSE:
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
-- 1 John 2:17

THOUGHT:
So much of what we pursue is fleeting. Once we acquire it, we
have to try to preserve it because we know it will soon be gone.
God has promised us that just as he is eternal and will live
forever, so also are those who pursue a relationship with him and
are committed to do his will. So let's sit down and look at how we
spend our time, our money, and our efforts and ask if what we are
pursuing is really something that is worth having. Then let's ask
one more important question: "Even if it is worth having, is it
going to last long enough to make a difference?"
PRAYER:
Eternal Father, please give me the courage to be honest about
what I am pursuing with my life. I want it to count for your cause.
I want to make a difference for good. Some of that desire, I
confess, is self-serving. However, dear Father, I truly do want to
have a life that impacts others for good and that brings you honor.
I don't want to waste my time chasing after things that won't last
and don't matter. Please give me the spiritual wisdom to follow
your will and find your life rather than chasing the shadow values
of my culture. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
