Don't
Get
Sidetracked
…
Scripture
Proverbs
4
Observation
I
think a lot of people because of this crisis are turning to the Lord
or will turn to the Lord. I had a lady at the hospital tell me this
week, “My daughter-in-law just told me that when church starts back
that she was going to start going to church with me!” She was so
excited! I would be excited too!
This
is no time to get sidetracked! Let's use this crisis, this difficult
time in our lives to draw closer to Jesus. You and I have time, we
have plenty of time, to spend with the Lord.
Drifting
away from each other and drifting away from the Lord is what happens
to all of us if we are not intentional.
Loving
your spouse with Agape love, God's love, sacrificial love, takes a
lot of hard work. If you don't work at it you will drift apart.
Sadly, I see this happening to couples everyday.
Getting
sidetracked from spending time with the Lord, drifting away from a
close relationship with Him, can happen unless we are intentional and
work hard at our relationship with Him.
Yes,
drifting away, yes getting sidetracked, will happen to you and will
happen to me unless we guard our hearts!
Application
I
will guard my heart because I want to finish well.
How
about you? What needs to change?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for young couples and I pray for couples that have
been married for years. Don't let them drift apart. Give them the
strength to work on their relationships. Don't let them give up.
Help
me to discipline my life, to guard my heart, because I know that it
will determine the course of my life. Keep me away from stupid sins.
Sins that will mess up my walk with You and will mess up my
relationship with others.
