\u201cThe World and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God Lives forever\u2019 1 John 2:17<\/span><\/h3>\nThought<\/strong>
So much of what we pursue is fleeting. Once we acquire it, we try to preserve it! Why? Because we know it will soon be gone. God has promised us that just as he is eternal and will live forever, so are those who pursue a relationship with him and are committed to his will. So, let\u2019s look at how we spend our time, money, and effort. Then, let\u2019s ask if what we are pursuing is really worth having. Now, let\u2019s ask one more important question: \u201cEven if it is worth having, is it going to last long enough to make a difference?<\/span><\/p>\nPrayer<\/strong>
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 want to have a life that impacts others for good and brings you honor. I don\u2019t want to waste my time chasing after things that won\u2019t last or matter. Please give me the spiritual wisdom to follow your will and find your life rather than pursue my culture\u2019s vain values. In Jesus\u2019 name, I pray. Amen.<\/p>\nBy Phil Ware<\/a>
