What are you waiting for or what is the desire of your heart; is it to find a job, a house, a business, so you can be rich, a wife or a husband? Are you looking for a friend or a relationship, or for your ship to come in, so to speak, by the way have you sent one out? What is it that you are waiting for? Are you waiting for something great to take place in your life, or for a healing or to kick a bad habit or settle a dept? Maybe you’re waiting and desiring a drastic change in your life to take place from the inside out. We need to be very careful, especially believers, what our wants and the desires of our hearts are.
Not long ago I watched a movie and there were many things taking place in this movie, but the main thing was centered on a man and a woman who eventually fell in love with each other and got married. The big problem that they had was embedded in the husband’s heart. Now please read this statement: (Where your treasure is there will your heart be also). There was a gold rush that had taken place and he got involved in it, no matter how hard he tried he could not get it out of his heart and mind. He wanted so bad to hit a gold vein and get rich, that it was like a driven desire that he had, and he couldn’t get rid of it. He wanted it so bad it overshadowed everything else in his life. He would lie to his wife over and over again, then he would wind up looking for a stake, in other words he had to find someone to borrow money from so he could buy the things that he needed to get back on that mountain and look for gold. He needed someone to back him, or stake him, or he couldn’t accomplish his main heart’s desire, finding gold and getting rich, and that completely consumed him. He kept this up until he was a very old man who eventually struck it rich only to be swindled out of it all. He was so angry he wanted to kill the swindlers, but his friend stopped him. Then he finally got back with his wife. But think of all the years he wasted, some of those years all alone in the mountains looking for something he wanted so badly but was never able to have.
As believers we need to be very careful of what we desire because what we desire may ensnare us and hold us captive. The enemy of our souls will use anything to take us captive, many times things that we rationalize in our minds to be good things, the enemy can use to entrap us, like I said, we need to be careful!! I know, I have been there.
I hope this has been a blessing and a help. May the good Lord bless you and yours, have a super, super day!!
