Ephesians 2:1-2
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
It’s really hard to go against the current. The constant pressure sweeps you away unless you actively row against it. Believers spend a shockingly small amount of time with the Father because the current is pulling them away all the time. As soon as I let my guard slip, as soon as I stop putting oar to water, away I go.
That current is what the Scripture calls the world. People all around you continually express their love of things other than God. The art and music, the entertainment and almost uniform attitudes form a constant flow away from a God-centered heart. There is amazing truth in the world, but the love of the Father is missing. We have to pull against to find the better joy of His presence.
Prayer prompt: Lord, You are better than all the options the world gives. Today, I choose You.
