Scripture

1 John 5

21 Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

Observation

What a great chapter! If you haven’t read 1 John 5 yet today then take time to read it. Read it slowly. Look at all the “we know’s” in the chapter. This chapter is loaded with good stuff for us today.

There is the real danger for us to allow “things” to take God’s place in our hearts. Those “things” may even be “people” but I think mostly John is thinking about other “idols” like addictions, hobbies, toys, possessions, careers, but it could also include relationships. Anything means any thing! It is all-inclusive!

Application

I will make sure that nothing is taking God’s place in my heart!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I love your Word. Thank You for giving us Your Word to guide us through this life. Thank You for the Word that was preached this weekend. I pray that you bless Hugh and Millie Roberts and Tommy Green as they faithfully preach Your Word on a weekly basis. I pray that You bless Hugh and Millie in their mission endeavors. Give them good health to be able to continue going to Africa and India and other places preaching the Gospel. Thank You for our church. I am so proud of them. It was a wonderful day of worship yesterday. You are an Awesome God.
