Which Way Are You Swaying?
Scripture
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
(1 John 5: 19)
Devotional
What pulls you? Who or what are the influences in your life? Are you persuaded by Christ or the things of this World? Whether we realize it or not we are constantly being pulled in one direction or another. The draw of Christ is the Love of God. The world uses every technique there is to draw you and me into its way of thinking. We are constantly being bombarded with advertisements. Each is attempting to convince us that we need to conform to a certain image. Therefore, we find ourselves swaying back and forth. Like a drunken stupor we succumb to the influence and lure of the world. We are not of the world. We are not to succumb to its temptations. We are to be of Christ. The world is no longer to have its talons imbedded into our hearts. We are to say with the psalmist, “I shall not be moved.”
