“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is
the enemy of God.”
James 4:4.
Are you a friend of the world? Are you fond
of the world and excited about the things of the
world more than your love and
excitement for God? If you are, as a Christian, then
there is something wrong with your love for God.
Your love for God should be greater than your love
for the world and the things of the world. If you do
not have such love for God, you cannot fulfill your
destiny in God.
1 John 2:15-17 (AMP) says, “Do not love or cherish
the world or the things that are in the world. If
anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in
him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the
flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust
of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the
pride of life [assurance in one's own resources or in
the stability of earthly things] — these do not come
from the Father but are from the world [itself]. And
the world passes away and disappears, and with it
the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the
lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and
carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains)
forever.”
Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You cause Your love to
constrain my heart to do what pleases You
always and restrain me from doing what would
displease You, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Doing the Word
Esteem the things of God more highly than the
things of this world.
