15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:15-16
What do you love in the world? The world has many things that you can and should like, but it also has many things that you should refrain from liking or loving because they draw you away from God. When you focus on the things of the world more than the things of God, then that should show you where your love lies. We need to remember that this world is only temporary, the things we have we cannot take with us, the enemy wants to pull our hearts away from God and tell us that these things of the world are more important. If we remember that God is forever and everything else is temporary, then it can help us focus. The distractions of the World are not good and for our benefit, so we should always think about how they might impact us. Don't be impacted by the enemy, be impacted by God and His faithfulness and promises.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
