My whole life I’ve heard the phrase, “In the world, but not of it,” right? Sound familiar? But like many sayings or quotes, unless they’re earth shattering or life changing, I can simply move on from and forget by the very next day. This had always been one of them. My simple mind thought – Of course, I’m a Christian living in a fallen world – makes sense…..move one…..right? However, there’s more conviction and power in this one phrase or quote than you could ever imagine, or at least, that I could’ve ever thought or imagined. You see, today we’re going to see very quickly how deep and meaningful this is to God, how deep this rabbit hole goes, and what this means to your existence while on earth and where you end up after this life. Yes, you heard me correctly – all that is contained in the meaning behind his quote, and it’s all biblically sound and has been right in front of our noses our entire lives, in the Bible – God’s very Word. Today, I pray that the Holy Spirit holds a spiritual mirror up to your face and allow you to look in it and see yourself how He sees you. For He searches your heart, where everything flows from. I want you to see yourself, how God sees you, based on what He has told us.

I never knew how much God hated the world and everything in and of it until He told me, by His Word.
