DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

1 JOHN 2:15-17

(15)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16)  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17)  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:  but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in Christ, let us ponder on the above context;  believers are not to be mindful of pleasures of this world;  to love pleasures of this world means, the love of the Father is not in us; for the world is full of material possessions, and pride of life;  and that is not of the Father: the world and its lustful desires will pass away:  but if we do the will of God, we will inherit life everlasting.

Case in point,  we are in the shopping and giving season;  we all need to bless our love ones with gifts from our various hearts;  the will of the Father, is for us to give onto others, to receive blessing from him:  regardless, let us do our shopping s wisely, and not over do them with monies borrowed from Credit Card companies:  I call them "Valleys of Shadow of Debts";   it is not the will of the Father for us to incur debts after giving to one another:  but the will of the Father is for us not to owe anyone anything but only to show love.

(Romans 13:8)  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:  for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Brethren, beware of the tricks of the enemy, who will bring the lust of the eyes to us when we shop;  let us buy things already listed from home, and not buy anything that we do not need:  if we are in need, God shall supply us all our heart desires;

(Philippians 4:19)  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus;

Brethren, let us not allow the evil one to lead us into "Valleys of Shadow of Debts":  if we use the cards;  let us beware of what we are doing , and do it wisely:  also let us give willingly within the will of God and not grudgingly or with sorrow, for God loves a cheerful giver.

(2 Corinthians 9:7)  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give;  not grudgingly, or of necessity:  for God loveth a cheerful giver.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in Christ, where are our love today?  with the Father?  or in things of the world:  what  will happen, when the shopping season passes away and we are deeper in the "Valleys of Shadow of Debts";  brethren, let us think about this, and rebuke lust of the eyes:  the attack of the enemy upon our lives when shopping for gifts.  Jesus, will deliver our souls from the "Valleys of Shadow of Debts; and we will inherit life everlasting.  Amen and Amen!
