Letters From God Day 9 : Core Values of People
" ...Thou art careful and troubled about many things. ..But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part ." Luke 10:41-42
There are some things human beings value on earth, those are the things that get their attention the most. What you value most in life is what you invest your time, energy, money and passion on .There are three main core values in life ,these are what people value most ; money, love and entertainment. Money has been the number one core value of most people, to the extent they can even kill for money, lie for money, dupe for money and do any thing evil for money.
That is the word of God cautions us against the love of money which brings most evil. " For the love of money is the root of all evil : which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, pierced themselves through with many sorrows. " 1 Timothy 6:10 The people who see money as their core value tend to love money more than anything in the world. One of the core values is love ,which comprises relationships, marriage and sex .Those who value these things can go to all length to have a lover or to please a lover .
God always warn us in his word against loving and valueing the things of the world." Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. " 1 John 2:15-16
Those who value love ,relationships, marriage or sex above the word of God will always end up committing sin .Because most at times they are controlled by lust of the flesh, so they end up committing sin.
One core value of people in general is entertainment of all kinds, such as football, movies ,parties ,clubs ,social gatherings and all forms of games. That is why some Christians may not go to church on Sunday, but instead go to movie theatres or game centres ,just to watch football or movies. What God wants us to value is the word of God, like Mary who valued the teachings of Christ and spent all her time listening to the word of God. " And she had a sister called Mary ,who also sat at Jesus feet and heard his word. " Luke 10 : 39
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ help me to value your word more than anything else in this world in Jesus name. AMEN
