Throughout life, we are faced with numerous decisions, many of which are costly by the world’s standards if the right decision is made. Yet, nothing in life will ever be as satisfying as following the Lord.No matter how many things we obtain in life, no matter how many promotions we get, no matter how much fame and popularity we have—these things pale in comparison to the hope and joy we find in a relationship with Christ. As we peer into our hearts, we must be diligent to rid our lives of things that do not point to God first and foremost. Is desiring to have a better life sinful? No, it is not. However, when our focus in life becomes to upgrade our lifestyles, shifting us away from God, it does become sinful. If we hold on to the hand of God through life’s most difficult trials, we have not escaped sin’s assault on our soul just yet. In an attempt to quench our passion for God and slowly steal away our intimacy with the Lord, the enemy will try to lure our focus and attention elsewhere. He may tempt you to think of things that are not overtly sinful, but the problems come when your attention does not rest on God—and that can be destructive. Prayer: Lord, please help me to keep my focus on You and You alone. Thank You for Your hope and joy. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
