God over the world.



Yesterday we looked at the choices Moses had to make To follow God when He could have chosen to stay in the easy life of Egypt under the household of Pharaoh. Moses chose God over the world. We are called to do the same thing. Let me ask you this day....are you choosing God or do you choses the things of the world on a daily basis. Think hard on that before you answer.

Consider these verses from the Word of God:

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matthew 16:26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

John 3:19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 12:25Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 15:18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

There is so much scripture that could be added to this, let us be sure we are chasing God each day over the world. The devil is good at his foolishness so we must be in the Word to recognize it. Stand as Moses soon against the world and with the ways of God!
