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. — 1 John 2:15

Loving things, especially ones that won’t last, can get us into a lot of trouble. Even worse, we can start to think that they will make us happy or fill the empty places in our hearts. But if we really put our hopes and dreams in our Abba Father, we are connected to eternity and always have what we need most.

Prayer

Holy God, grant me the wisdom I need to invest in you and important things. I’ll be the first to admit that the flashy, transient things frequently catch my eyes and my heart off guard. Father, make my heart yearn for you by your Spirit. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
