Desires that Disappear

Greetings to all. On this “grateful” Thursday, let us thank God for fulfilling and giving us the desires of our hearts.

Having desires is natural and can be good and beneficial. However, having desires that are not godly and are of the world can lead to sin and ruin. It is important to focus on desires that align with God’s will. As we reflect today, may we seek God's desires above all, finding purpose and lasting joy in Him.

1 John 2:16–17 (GW)

16 Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and

17 the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever. 

Lesson: We must be careful not to desire worldly things, as these desires disappear and do not last. They can lead us away from God.
