“…with a continual lust for more.”

No matter where you live, you probably spend more time with your coworkers than you do with the one you love.

The high pressure, stressful atmosphere of work can encourage passions to flair. The person you fight corporate dragons with can seem far more exciting than the person you share the garbage detail with at home.

If you’re in a committed relationship, yet find yourself drawn to a person at work, it’s time to be honest with yourself.

If you’re sharing things with your office companion that you don’t share with your home partner, if you want to be with your “office spouse” more than the person waiting for you at home, and find that office partner occupying more and more of your thoughts, then you’re headed in a very dangerous direction.

Lust for Power

These desires move us farther away from God for two big reasons.They put other things at the center of our attention when the center of our focus and our lives should be God.

They make our desires more important than God's desires.

They make us more important than Him.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little conscious effort, we can work to put God where He belongs – at the center of our lives.

If we say we believe in Him and in an afterlife with Him, then we’re supposed to be working towards achieving that life.

This of course isn’t easy. Our great challenge is to live in the world, yet not be tainted by it.
