If someone snuck into a store one night and switched all of the price tags, we’d immediately recognize the error.
But we’ve grown used to the switched price tags in our world.
When Satan convinced Eve that her relationship with God wasn’t as valuable as the benefits of a forbidden fruit, the values in our world were turned upside down.
That’s why we highly pay and highly praise many immoral, selfish people while ignoring many godly men and women.
It’s why we undervalue things that take hard work and commitment (like marriage), and overvalue shallow, temporary pleasures.
But Christians should be different because “Everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17).
Let's seek daily to do the will of our loving God!
