Do
Not Let Sin
Control
The Way You Live;
Do
Not Give In To Sinful Desires.
Scripture
Romans
6
12 Do
not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful
desires.
Observation
Today
my daily Bible reading that included 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles talk
about Solomon and how much God had blessed him. God had clearly told
Solomon not to marry foreign wives … but …
“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.”
(1 Kings 11:2-3)
He
was the wisest and the richest man that has ever lived, yet in his
old age he let sin turn his heart away from the Lord.
It
is a warning to me and it sure ought to be a warning to you too!
Are
you letting sin control the way you live? 1 Kings 11 is a very sad
commentary on the life of King Solomon.
Application
I
want to finish well.
How
about you? Are you letting sin control the way you live?
This
Book (the Bible) will keep me away from sin, and sin will keep me
away from this Book. (A quote written in my study Bible from Pastor
Rapley Armstrong)
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, do not let me drift away from a close relationship with You.
Help me to guard my heart. I want to finish well. Keep me away from
stupid sins that will mess up my relationship with You and will mess
up my relationship with those around me. Continue to show me in Your
Word how I should live my life.
Daily
Bible Reading: 1 Kings 10,11; 2 Chronicles 9; Romans 6
