Today is Tuesday, August 27, 2019, and here is your daily devote. Today we toss around the word love just as freely to describe everything from how we feel about pets, to how we feel about God, to how we feel about the car we drive or wish to drive in our favorite ice cream. While we may argue that our love for a car is not the same as our love for God, we have to ask if they are in opposition to one another. Is our love for possessions, comfort, pleasure, even others creeping in and fringing on our love for God?
Are we allowing these things, even the good gifts from God, to divide our hearts? Is our love for God waning as our love for these other things grows? Our visceral reaction might be to declare that our love for these other things is totally different from how we feel about God. But what do our actions reflect?
What consumes our thoughts, our time, our efforts? What are we most afraid to lose? How we answer these questions will reveal much about our hearts and help us discover any splintering in our affections for God. Think about this.
What does Solomon's compromise and devotion to God on account of the relationships teach us about guarding our heart? What wisdom would you offer someone who's devotion to God is being compromised?
