~Day 24~ Love vs. Lust~
The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. —1 John 2: 17
Despite all Gods promises to provide all we need, we want more! We constantly think if we only had such and such we would be happy! We lust after worldly things such as possessions, sexual fulfillment, power, money.
Lust is never satisfied. It only leads to longing for more.
It’s time to expose lust for what it really is— a misguided thirst for satisfaction that only God can fulfill. Lust is like a warning light on the dashboard of your heart, alerting you to the fact that you’re not allowing God’s love to fill you. When your eyes and heart are on Him, your actions will lead you to lasting joy, not to endless cycles of regret and condemnation.
What has been enticing you and luring your eyes and heart away? What things in this world are you longing for? Can you admit that you don't need them? Then begin setting your heart back on God and partake of the feast of His Word.
~~TODAY’S DARE~~
END IT NOW. IDENTIFY EVERY OBJECT OF LUST IN YOUR LIFE, AND REMOVE IT. SINGLE OUT EVERY LIE YOU’VE SWALLOWED IN PURSUING FORBIDDEN PLEASURE AND REJECT IT. LUST CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE IN A BACK BEDROOM. IT MUST BE KILLED AND DESTROYED – TODAY – AND REPLACED WITH THE SURE PROMISES OF GOD AND A HEART FILLED WITH HIS PERFECT LOVE.
What did you identify as an area of lust?
What has this pursuit cost you over time?
How has it led you away from the person you want to be?
Write about your new commitment to seek Him— and to seek your spouse— rather than seeking after foolish desires.
