(Proverbs 11:6 NKJV) The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
Lust – it can be a sexual desire, or an intense longing, a craving, enthusiasm, or eagerness.
The question is, are we lusting after anything today?
Are we lusting after someone’s job/title/position, someones home? We could be lusting after a person, and sometimes we can even lust after someone’s Ministry/Call on their life. Let’s check ourselves today and make sure this is not the case with us.
There is nothing wrong with looking at someone’s life and loving what they did with it. That is not lusting. We can tell when we are lusting after someone or something by how we act and how we feel inside.
If we are feeling jealous, bitter or angry toward them, then we are lusting after what they have, maybe even to the point that we got caught or snagged by it.
This can cause our hearts to be changed, from being focused on what God wants us to do, to becoming consumed with trying to reach a goal, just to get what they have.
This happens every day, all around us. Why? Because we get love and lust confused.
Remember that it is the unfaithful that walk in lust. But the Godly walk in LOVE.
We don’t need to lust after anything in this world. God is more than this world could ever offer, and we have HIM. He lives in us as we give our heart to Him.
Let Love RULE our hearts!!
