Do
Not Let Sin
Control
The Way You Live;
Do
Not Give In To Sinful Desires.
Scripture
1
Kings 11
2 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.
3 He had 700
wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn
his heart away from the Lord.
4 In
Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods
instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God,
as his father, David, had been. 5 Solomon worshiped
Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable
god of the Ammonites.
6 In
this way, Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight; he
refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father,
David, had done.
Romans
6
Observation
King
Solomon started out great, but didn't finish well!
You
and I have the opportunity if we choose to stay away from sin, to
finish well!
The
choice is ours to make. If we are followers of Jesus Christ, we can
say “no” to temptation when it comes our way.
Weekends
seem to be a prime time for the tempter (the devil) to tempt us!
Let's
not let anything turn our hearts away from the Lord.
“Sin
will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you
want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. –”
“This
Book will keep you from sin and sin will keep you from this Book.”
(Rapley Armstrong)

I
will strive to live out today in a way that makes God smile!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me live out today in a way that pleases You. May
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to
you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
