Dear
Children,
Keep
Away From Anything
That
Might Take God's Place In Your Hearts.
Scripture
1
John 5
21
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place
in your hearts.
Observation
Does
God have the Number One place in our hearts? Just imagine a throne
placed right in the center of your heart and God sitting on that
throne!
We
are to stay away from “anything” that “might” take Him off of
that throne.
Because
you and I are sinners we have a constant battle over who is going to
sit on that throne!
“Me,
Myself, and I” always wants to climb up and take possession and
take control!
Satan
doesn't help either because he is always tempting and enticing us
trying to get us to go after that “thing” so God will be pushed
out of His special place in our hearts.
…..
1
John 5
19
We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is
under the control of the evil one.
**
1 John 5:19 is a reminder to me why this world is not going to get
better and better – it is under the control of the evil one
(Satan)!
…..
Application
I
will guard my heart. How about you?
Proverbs
4:23
Guard
your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I want You to have Your special place in my heart. I don't
want to let anything bump You off or push You away from Your special
place. Don't let me be in control of my life. I only mess things up.
I yield the throne of my life, the throne of my heart to You. I want
You to guide me today. Direct me. Help me please You in all that I do
today. You are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! You are worthy to
be praised!
