Scripture lesson: 1 John 2:15-17 Love of this world
Time to reflect: It is natural to be concerned if not desperately committed to the things of this world. However, the Bible points out again and again that the things of this world are temporary, transitory and impermanent while the things of God are eternal. This is tough. This is something we have to work at all the time to overcome focusing on the impermanent.
Moving through the day: What things or things (not family or other eternal values) would be the hardest for you to give up?
15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
