Exodus 1; Exodus 2; Psalm 88; Luke 21
Watch Out!
Don’t Let Your Hearts Be Dulled By Carousing And Drunkenness,
And By The Worries Of This Life.
Scripture
34 “Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life.
Observation
So
many things can dull your heart and my heart. Maybe you no longer participate
with the carousing and drunkenness crowd, but how about the worries of this
life do they still mess up your heart?
I
can remember life before I surrendered my life to Christ. I was a married 18
year old, barely an adult and partying and drinking seemed like the thing for
me to do. It was what everyone seemed to do to try to find purpose and meaning
out of life. Thank goodness I realized that carousing and getting drunk could
not fill the emptiness in my life. I am so grateful that someone shared with me
that only Jesus Christ could meet the deep needs of my heart.
How
sad it is when we as followers of Jesus Christ go back to the old life instead
of looking to Christ to help us with the worries and troubles of life. Drugs,
alcohol, and sex can dull the pain of broken relationships, financial crisis,
loss of a job, failure etc., but it is only for a moment.
A
life yielded and surrendered to Jesus doesn’t need the “props” of the old life.
Application
I will enjoy my relationship with Jesus Christ today. How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, nothing can satisfy the needs of my life
like Jesus Christ. Don’t ever let me settle for second best. Don’t ever let me
go back to the old things in my life that never delivered what they promised.
You are the most important Person in my life. You are all I need.
