What can we do about all the things systematized by Satan to occupy us and frustrate us from accomplishing the purpose of God? We can always ask the question, “How is this thing affecting my relationship with God the Father?”

1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him; 16 Because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and its lust, but he who does the will of God abides forever.
