Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world -- the cravings of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boasting of what he has and does, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world and its desires are passing away, but the man who does the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17)
Most Holy God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the sparkling gift of life on this new day that dawns with evidence of the vastness of your creation. Help us to love things that are truly good and worthy of our best efforts. Give us wisdom as we study and live in obedience to Christ our King. In Jesus name, Amen.
