Day 4 – WHAT DOES THE WORLD OFFER?

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

God warns us that in this world that we live in, we will experience tribulation. God did not shy away from warning us. He gave it to us straight. 

What does this world have to offer us? It only lures us to false hope, and false peace. It lures us to temptations that satisfy only the flesh. What the flesh desires is temporary contentment. But our spirit desires to be content with things of above, heavenly things that lead us to eternal life.

Don’t be fooled by this world, by what it offers. The lies are loud, they lead to sin, and sin leads to eternal death. It leads to a miserable life, a life of torture with no peace, and no hope. 

If you find yourself here, stuck in what this world is offering, there is a way out. Jesus is the answer. Surrender your life to the only Savior who was sent to save you, to set you free from this bondage.

Prayer: Father God, thank you for sending your Son Jesus Christ to save us. Help us to not get consumed with what this world has to offer us. Help us and give us the strength we need to always seek your Kingdom. In Jesus Name, Amen.
