Think of your priorities. Where does the crown of life fall? If it's first, then you'll steadfastly endure anything to obtain it. If anything else is above it, then that will wither and perish. Tim Keller talks about how we know what our true gods are when we consider what we think about when we have idle time. Do we focus on the crown of life, on obtaining the promises of God? Or do we think about lesser things?
The world will certainly tempt us away from God, luring us through our own desires, which give birth to sin, which leads us away from God. May we pray for the wisdom to pursue God's crown of life rather than our own desires!
