Devotional
The things we pursue in life have everything to do with our joy and fulfilment. But the fact still remains that true joy and sincere satisfaction can only come from God, and not from the things that can only offer mere temporal gratification. So, in the light of this truth, let us pursue what makes for peace and would grow our joy and fulfilment (Rom 14:19). Even as the Bible encourages us same in 1 Cor 10:23, it says,
Key Scripture
Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial…1Cor 10:23 BSB

Again, seeking after “mere things” and making them our priority will make us miserable in the end. Instead let us consciously seek for God and His kingdom and righteousness, and it shall be well with us (Matt 6:33). Stay Refreshed and happy new Month!
