Are you savvy?
Do you know your way around?
Are your life hacks really working out for you?
Are you "worldly wise"?
It seems like those are all good things.
But are they?
God reminds us that things are not always what they seem to be...
1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
Worldly Wise?
Not so wise.
Very worldly.
So what's the alternative?
Instead - as believers in Jesus Christ and his gift of eternal salvation (see link at bottom for more details)...we are Heaven Bound!
1 John 3:1-3 (Message)
What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.
But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own.

Lord,
Stop me in my endless pursuit of worldly wisdom.
Stop me in my tracks.
Put me onto Your tracks.
The Heaven Bound tracks.
Hallelu-yay!
Amen.
