Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-21

1 Kings 11:1 (NKJV) 1 But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites—

Solomon’s father was King David. David loved God with all his heart. God knew David’s heart and showed him tremendous favor because of it.

Solomon found favor with God early in his reign as King. His heart wanted to do the right thing. And because of that, God blessed him immensely.

Over time, though, Solomon disobeyed God, and his heart strayed from God.

Solomon had a weakness for women. And foreign women were a big part of that weakness.

In the end, those women turned Solomon’s heart away from God.

1 Kings 11:4 (NKJV) 4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

You see, this can happen to any of us.

We can have the best of intentions. We can love God sincerely. And we can please Him with our actions.

But then things can come along that cause us to become distracted; to stray from Him and replace Him as our first love.

When this happens, nothing good comes from it.

This is why it’s so critical that we guard our hearts and protect our walk with God at all costs.

Nothing is ever worth losing our love for God over. Nothing.

So, we urge you to shield your heart from evil of all kinds, even if it might seem tiny and insignificant. A little sin can go a long way toward destroying something much bigger and more important.

1 Corinthians 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
