Sup With Me: Words of Inspiration
- Be careful not to exchange your purity for worldly pleasures. For all the things of this world will pass away, but the word of God will always remain (paraphrased Matthew 24:35).
- Be careful of what you give your ears and eyes to because whatever it is will draw you. Therefore, if your ears are not following the voice of God then they are going to follow another voice that is apart from God. If your eyes are not seeing clearly and your vision is off focus, then you will be in pursuit of the wrong things opposite from God’s will for your life.
- Remaining in God’s will takes sobriety and vigilance, effort and intentionality. The reason for this is because anything and anyone can come and compete for your attention and affection drawing you away from God.
How do I safeguard my heart and ensure that I am not being drawn away even if what appears before me seems good?
Your devotion and time spent with God is the portal; the connection to receive direction, redirection, and correction. Your time with God creates an atmosphere of clarity and serenity. Having this daily connection is vital because we live in an external world that surrounds us with many enticing things. If we are not careful, then what we see and hear can draw away our attention and affection from God.
Your effort and intentionality reflect a daily lifestyle of worship to God. You make the decision to only allow fruitful, encouraging, truthful, and Godly input into your eye and ear gates. You must remember that your heart and mind hold on to what enters it through these gates. What enters your eyes and ears will influence and infiltrate your thoughts and drive your motives (whether they are pure or unpure). The very things you think will be reflected by the words you speak and the actions that follow.
Philippians 2:5 “Let the mind of Christ Jesus be in you.” Jesus came in the likeness of man but had the mindset of humility. He gave himself to a life of obedience with acts that pleased God the Father. Jesus was in the world with many enticing things and people around. However, Jesus remained committed and submitted through obedience to the will of His heavenly Father.
“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
Philippians 2:13
–Our affections must be toward God so we can fulfill His will for His Glory.
Stay rooted in the word of God and thrive as a child of God!
We pray that this post gives you encouragement and focus for living a life that Glorifies God, for He is the creator of all man and we are His creation. He desires relationship with us that we may live this life with Him and not apart from Him. Our life is better since we’ve decided to live it for Christ, and we want the same for you!
Salvation through Jesus Christ Awaits
