As I was doing my daily quite time and reading I could not help but think that this scripture was very fitting for a Black Friday. The scripture is 1 John 2:15-17 and the version I chose is from the Message translation as the verbiage is a little more informal, but drives the point.
1 John 2:15-17
"Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity."
