Scripture

Observation

Do you struggle with pornography? No, well maybe you struggle with drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, or gambling. Maybe your struggle is something that is so secret you think that you are the only one who knows about it? Don’t kid yourself! Everybody probably knows about it! More important God knows … nothing is hidden from Him. 

Next time you find yourself committing that sin whatever it may be why don’t you try this … close your eyes and visualize Christ on the cross and say to yourself, “Christ died for that sin.” Christ died for that sin! He did. We need to die to that sin too! 

Sin is pleasurable … for the moment. 

You and I can’t walk the fence! God wants 100% of us. He doesn’t want a Sunday Christian and a Monday through Saturday Heathen. He wants you and I to live for Him 24/7! 

Some of us are harming the Name of our Savior by trying to straddle the fence!

I am praying that you and I will bring God honor and glory with how we live. It was sad to read in today’s Bible reading that at the end of King Solomon’s life he decided to follow other gods. How dumb was that? 

“Now King Solomon loved many foreign women… The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, ‘You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.’ Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord.” I Kings 11:1-3 

How do you want to be remembered? Do you want to finish your life 100% committed to the LORD? 

Get off the fence!

Application

I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my strength. I will ask God to guard my heart. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help those reading this that may be trying to live a double life. Show them today how stupid that really is. Open up their eyes! Keep me from doing stupid stuff. Keep me from sinning. Show me my sins when I commit them so I can confess them and stay close to You. It is my desire to live for You every moment of every day. Don’t let me mess up my life. Help me to finish well.
