What Happened To You?

In discussing matters of the heart, I pose the question of, “what happened to you?”  What happened to the way you used to serve God?  What happened to the way you used to pray?  What happened to the love you used to have for Him and the way you used to go after Him?  You "used" to be SO on fire for God!

“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth…” Galatians 3:1

Who have you connected with that has led you astray?

I hear people say it and I’ve said it as well that, “well God knows my heart.”  Yes He does, but at some point you have to stop using this saying as a crutch for not being accountable to living according to the standards set forth in His Word.  The Bible tells us in Matthew 12:34 that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.  Well – you speak more than just with your mouth; you speak with your actions too.  Having a perfect heart towards God, in my opinion, refers to your true motives and intentions.  When you truly and intentionally love someone, you do things to make them happy, you compromise and you sacrifice for their sake; you prefer them and their desires above your own.  So again, what happened to you?

What is outside the will of God that is so intriguing to you?  The Bible also tells us on more than one occasion that we are not to have any other gods before Him.  So if there is something that is capturing your attention more than the Lord Jesus Christ – you need to step back and reconsider.  Are you paying more attention to yourself and your own wants and desires more than God?  You may be having fun now, but what about the end result?

I Samuel 15:22-23 (NIV)…”To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”
