Are you going to follow the world or are you going to follow God? Our decision may either turn out to be costly or rewarding. When we follow our own desires and the ways of the world we may feel satisfied for the moment but there are consequences we may not have thought of.

The world is doing a great job at overloading us with everything and nothing, pulling us down into its strongholds of comparisons, worry and fear. So I have asked myself, does it really have to be this way? Do you and I have a better life waiting for us to grab hold of?
