The Temptation to Love the World More Than God

Good morning, everyone! The title of Day 3 of RLCC Daily Devo is: "The Temptation to Love the World More Than God"

Our Scripture passage is: Genesis 18:16-29

Meditation: When God threatened to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham became deeply concerned. His nephew Lot was living there. Abraham prayed, hoping that God would spare the cities for the sake of his nephew. But even Lot and his family were hesitant to leave these cities. Similarly, our love for the world can become a temptation that leads us to deviate from our mission. Thankfully, God is righteous and just, and He will rescue us from worldliness.

Personal Application: Reflect on your own life and any areas where worldly concerns have taken precedence over your commitment to God's mission. Consider how you can realign your priorities and choose righteousness and justice over the attractions of the world.

Prayer: Lord, help me to examine my heart and recognize where my love for the world has hindered my mission for You. Grant me the strength to prioritize righteousness and justice, seeking first Your kingdom. Thank You for Your righteousness and justice, which rescues us from the temptations of the world. In Jesus' name, amen.
