Choosing Pleasure Over God
filh/donov (Philedonos)
- loving pleasure
Many times, I’ve chosen to do something that feels nice and easy for me. I did it sometimes knowing it was against God’s command. For example, I chose to sleep in instead of going to church on Sunday morning. I’ve refused to do a regular ministry because I had “better” things to do, like shopping or watching TV. I’ve even lost my virginity before marriage.
God wants me to put Him first before any earthly pleasures. It’s when I focus my attention to God, I will have a clear purpose in my life.
Thank you, Lord, for guiding me thus far. Thank you for not abandoning me. I have some hard choices to make because it’s your command. To live a Godly life is not easy and I know I can’t do it without your help. I want to make each step I take moving towards you, God. I choose you, not this world. Amen.
They will… love pleasure over God.
