The World Will Pass Away

Scripture: 1 John 2: [17] The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

Observation: I do not want the world and desires to mean anything to me. Unfortunately I think more about them then I do of God most of the time. My heart’s desire is to do the will of the Father, but my everyday thoughts are so grounded in what is around me instead of what is in me.

Application: If I’m going to do the will of the Father that must be in the forefront of every thought. I need to be living for eternity and not just for now. I need to look at my surroundings and know they are going to pass away and are only temporary. I need to live for God and God only now.

Prayer: Dear Father open my eyes to your desires, make them mine. Give me the heart of Jesus and show me each day how to do your will. I know I will live with you for all eternity, may I start now.
