You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT

Oh my, does this not describe the world we live in today? May none of us fall into this category, but may we remain focused on the what God has called us to; a life of godliness, faith and trust in Him.

May we appear different from the world, so much so that there is not a doubt we are Christians. I’ve met people like that. The Spirit of God leapt in me and I knew they were believers. They have separated themselves from the things of the world, choosing heaven as their destination. What a beautiful example of coming apart and living unto the Lord.

Father, once again I declare that I am yours alone. My heart is set on loving you, trusting you and being only yours. When the lure of the world becomes a temptation, you will keep me for my eyes are on you and you watch over me day and night. There is no room for second place with you. You have asked for all of me and I respond that I am all yours. Beautiful Savior! Precious Redeemer! You have bought me but set me free. I will follow you all the days of my life and dwell in your house forever.

It’s My Prayer,

Sandy G
