2 Timothy 3:6-9 tells us what happens to those people whose main focus is pleasure. We all have a choice to make. Hopefully, we will make the right choice. Pleasure should not be our primary focus.

Over emphasis on pleasure causes our attention to shift from God to the objects of pleasure. We begin to idolise them. The end result is a society that is devoid of the fear of God. Anything goes. Material things take centre stage. People then do anything for pleasure. Then 2 Timothy 3:1-5 begins to make sense.

Joy is an important part of our lives. We enjoy deriving pleasure from various things, be it a hobby, a relationship, etc. This is part of life. But living for pleasure is something the bible warns against. Gratifying our desires should not be the primary focus of our existence. 1 Timothy 5:6.

Jesus mentored the disciples, interacted with His betrayer Judas, chased business people angrily from the temple, showed compassion and healed the sick. He dealt differently with different people. May we get wisdom on how to deal with other people. Philippians 2:3-8.

How do we relate with others? Do we respect and honour them? Do we surrender our opinions and feelings and obey the Lord concerning each relationship? Philippians 2:3-8 challenged me concerning this.

Adversity occupies us, sometimes it consumes us to the point of destruction. During that time, we may not feel God’s presence. Yet, if we have surrendered our lives to Him, He is always with us. Remember Romans 8:35.

There is not giving up, then there is Isaiah 26:4! It comes after the famous verse 3, and I had never focused on verse 4. We are encouraged to trust in the Lord FOREVER! No giving up. May we live to see Him come through for us and those around us so that we may have a witness.

And even as we depend on the Lord for ourselves, let us not forget to pray for our country. In Exodus 32:1-14, one man interceded for his people and the Lord had mercy and a remnant was salvaged. Please stand in the gap.

When things are working out for us, may we never forget the Lord. If we put our faith in that which appears to sustain us, may we heed the warning of Psalm 33:17-19. Let us acknowledge that it is the Lord who sustains us and causes us to prosper.

The importance of standing firm on the word of God and dwelling in divine purpose is given credence by the words of Psalm 33:4-12, especially verse 4, 6, 11-12. No matter the challenge, may we stand firm and rely on Him.
