1 Kings 8:61 (NKJV) 61 Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”
I feel so bad when I say or do something stupid, because most times I know better.
How many are with me today? You feel the conviction immediately and you think, “why did I go there, AGAIN?”.
You know, some days it’s so easy to hold back. But other days it’s not. And we just slip up. Boy, God must have some mercy on me.
Being loyal to God doesn’t mean we will be perfect. It would be nice if we could, but it’s impossible if we are flesh and bone.
The flesh is always out to get us. And if we allow it, it will.
Being loyal just simply means that we keep working at knowing the Lord our God and His righteous ways, and allowing Him to help us overcome that very thing that tries to pull on us at times. It means giving our hearts over completely to our Helper, the Holy Spirit.
It’s the Holy Spirit who will warn, correct and keep us from making those dumb mess ups at times.
1 Timothy 6:11 (NKJV) 11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
Loyalty to God means to pursue or go after what is righteous, and stick to it. Amen.
