Let not your heart turned away...!

I Kings 11:6, 9-10 NKJV

Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord , and did not fully follow the Lord , as did his father David. So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded.

Shalom! Day #113. Do you know that there is something that can cause us to turn our hearts from the Lord? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for turning away from You. Lord we pray that You would remove everything that's making us to stumble and to turn away from You. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

What are the things that making us to turn away from God? What are the things that's become a wall of hindrances between us and God? It could be our attitude. It could be our bad habits. It could be a wrong relationship. It could be the unwanted desires in our hearts. When we say "for me to live is Christ..."  it means the fullness of Christ abides in us as we abide in the fullness of His life. It means not giving an inch or even a centimetre of space for the worldly things in our lives which can make us to turn away from God, but our life fully governed by the Lordship of Jesus Christ! Our attitude - stubbornness, rebellious spirit, hatred, bitterness, not submitting to higher level of leadership - this to may cause us to turn from God. As written in Songs of Solomon 2:15 NKJV Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes. That little foxes may seems to be cute, but they are the ones that will ruin your life and make you to turn away from God.

When you fully wholeheartedly follow the Lord, yes there will be challenges, be bold to take the challenges and fight it. Do not relent and give up. When you fall, you rise again. Again when you fall, you rise up again! Just don't give accuses to make you to turn away from God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
