1 Corinthians 15:58 – 58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Let nothing move you?
As fallen humans we have a tendency to let everything move us from dedicating ourselves from fully working for the Lord. I look at things in my life that I have allowed in the past to take my time away from the Lord and they are some pretty ridiculous things. Most of the time those things are pretty ridiculous for everyone.
Nothing is more important than our relationship with the Lord.
I almost can imagine people at the beginning of a straight line they are told to walk forward to finish it. As soon as people start to move some see interesting things off to the left or the right.
Some stop others start backtracking. Many get straightened out for a few months and then “oooo, look at that over here.”
The devil for now doesn’t care what line you walk as long as it’s not going towards the Lord.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, is worth taking your time away from your loving Lord.
Nothing you do for Him will ever be in vain. On the flip side, everything you do for yourself is lost and gone. Mega television watching that has nothing to do with Him, online poker, etc. These are just a few things that I have allowed in the past to keep me away from strengthening and serving my Lord
better. I can’t get those times back, but I can keep it from happening in the future.
What is it in your life? Today is a new day to make some changes for Him.
Today is a day to get closer to Him.
