Who is your friend?

Another verse to day that will make you do some thinking!

James 4:4
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

What is it in us that wants the World to see us and love us? Why are we so obsessed in impressing others? I guess it all comes down to pride. This verse warns us about cheating on God. James calls those who do adulterers and adulteresses! Wow. He goes on to tell us that if we are friends it is enmity with God. What does enmity mean? Enmity is a feeling or condition of hostility; hatred; ill will; animosity; antagonism. That pretty well sums up of how God feels when we put the World before Him. What has the world done for us that we would turn our backs on God? Absolutely nothing. What has God done that He deserves our complete devotion Absoltely everything! Even to the point of sacrificing His Son for sinners such as us...wow. Thank you God!

So it is our choice today...who is your friend? God or the world. Who are you trying to impress? That will give you the answer!

Have a great week!
