When Desire Rules

Who is really in charge of your life? In this devotion, Pastor Kent Jacob reflects on Proverbs 31:4–5 and the warning of Lemuel’s mother about the danger of a clouded mind and unchecked appetite. While the passage speaks about wine and strong drink, the deeper issue is anything that takes control of our judgement and pulls us away from wisdom. Appetite is not always evil, but when desire becomes louder than truth, it can damage our integrity, family, calling, and future. This episode calls us to examine what is driving us and to let Christ, not desire, govern our lives.
