1 John 2:15-17 – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

To abide forever in the Lord, before the Lord with increasing joy, is the ultimate prize.  John writes earnestly to warn us that all that is in the world is passing away.  It is a distraction from the love of God.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and strength.  Do not love the world or the things in the world.

Practical suggestions:

– Meditate upon this verse.  Each of us has desires for things in the world that captivate our attention and distract us from the Lord.  What does your heart desire?

– Pray that your heart desires God above all things.  Turn away from fleeting desires and turn to the Lord.

– Consider sharing with another how the Lord is your satisfaction and joy.

There is nothing that we need that God does not give us.  In the midst of all the whirlwind of circumstances around us, God provides everything we need for faith and godliness.  God is a solid rock upon which to stand and therefore those who stand upon Him shall not be shaken.

Set 1 – Psalm 56:3-4 – When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Trust in the Lord.  I use this verse with my children all the time.  They know it well and it is our favorite middle of the night verse.  In God I trust.  Why should one be afraid if the Lord is with you?

There is pain at the hands of those who are in the world and would do us harm.  Yet, God is greater than those who are in the world and, most notably, the devil.  There is nothing flesh can do to you to harm your eternal joy with God.  Do not fear the one who can harm your body, but rather the one who has authority over your soul. (See Matthew 10:26-33)

Where do you run when you are afraid?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon this verse and God’s faithfulness.  Consider that God is over and in control of all the things in your life that may harm you.  God is good.  Put your trust in Him

–  Consider where your heart goes when you are afraid.  Keep this verse at hand and sing through it whenever you feel fear.  The melody was thoughtfully created to help you rest in the lord with this verse.  When you awaken in the middle of the night to a strange sound, when you fear the icy road conditions, call upon the Lord.  My children learn this song easily, “I like that one dad!”  Teach it to yourself to arm yourself.

– Pray that the Lord and praise Him.  Tell the Lord that you trust Him and ask Him to protect you from the evil one.

Set 1 – Romans 12:1-2 – I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Jesus Christ died upon the cross as the perfect sacrifice.  Because of His sacrifice, we can take up our cross each day dying to self and be conformed to His likeness.   Metamorphosis is the idea here.  It is not just taking bits here and there into our minds to gradually change, but rather a complete transformation.   The thrust of this transformation is to conform to Christ, not the world.  God has given believers a new mind so that one may understand what is good and acceptable and perfect.

How are you conforming to this world?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon this verse and Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.  What is good?  Acceptable?  Perfect?  Conform to Christ.

– Offer yourself to the Lord and pray  for renewal of your mind.  Pray through what it means to have new life given by God and gain the mind of Christ. (See an example here)

– As you look at your own life, pray for discernment to know what is the will of God in Christ Jesus.    What is good and acceptable and perfect?
