📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

In 1 John 2:17, we’re reminded that the world and all its attractions are temporary. This verse isn't telling us to ignore our daily lives, but it’s calling us to focus on what lasts beyond our earthly journey.

Embracing God’s will means recognizing what truly brings lasting joy and fulfillment. It’s about seeing past the immediate allure of material success, popularity, or comfort, and understanding that real satisfaction comes from aligning our lives with God’s purposes.

What does this look like in practice? It might be choosing kindness over anger, generosity over greed, or faithfulness in small things that seem insignificant. These choices help us live out the eternal over the temporary, crafting a life that resonates in eternity.

Today, let's be mindful of where we’re investing our energy and passions. Are they in things that fade away, or in pursuits that build an enduring legacy in Christ? Each decision, each action, is a brushstroke in the masterpiece of our lives—let’s paint with eternal colors.

Ask Yourself:

What are the 'temporary' things that I find myself focusing on too much? How can I make more room for what's eternal in my daily life?
