Demas was once serving alongside Paul. He was counted among his fellow workers.
And then we read these heartbreaking words:
“For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me…”
— 2 Timothy 4:10
That should make every one of us examine our hearts.
We can be praying, serving and faithfully following the Lord—and still need to guard against the slow pull of this world.
What are we feeding?
What are we allowing?
What has our attention?
What are we unwilling to surrender?
This isn’t about condemnation. It’s an invitation to examine our hearts.
If something has begun competing with your love for the Lord, turn back. Lay it down. Surrender it again.
Don’t let the desires of the flesh become louder than the voice of the One who called you.
Guard your heart. 🤍
