Worship The Lord your God, and serve Him only. Luke 4:8
Satan had tempted Jesus with all the kingdoms of the world for he said: 'it has been given over to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.'
It is interesting that He tempted Jesus with Kingship because that was what He was but His Kingdom was not of this world.
Satan knows what we are and we are also not of this world when me make Christ our Lord. He will do anything to have us worship the creation rather than the creator.
All that is of the world demands our attention, constantly bombarding is with images to tempt. The message is: 'without XYZ you are not complete or your are unhappy.
Our joy comes from knowing Christ and walking in His ways. We are 'in' the world but not 'of' the world. We do not belong to the dictates of this world.
Tomorrow meet with your church family and give your Lord time, listen to Him not the TV. Remember who you are and where you belong. Amen!
