The Purity Walk 5

When we walk with someone else, that person can not take the number one place in our lives. We have to be willing to take time for God. In our busy lives it is sometimes hard to carve out specific time for God, but when we will not allow time for Him and guess what praying before meal time is not enough, yes it is a start, but don't let that be the beginning middle and end. By allowing time for Him, your perspective will begin to change.

In John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease.” He must become more important then me, more important then others. He must increase and therefore I will decrease. My wants my desires are to be directed to Him, not the other way around. Just the same holds true in a relationship, you think that just because you are with someone that they can become more important then God, but the same holds true, more of Him and less of us still is the case. Allow Him to show you, to help you balance your time. When we pray about our schedules in the morning, guess what happens He will order our days. In Psalm 37:23 "The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him." He will help us walk according to Him. Psalm 119:133 "Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me."

We need to allow God to work in our relationship and if we allow the one we are with to come first, we give in to the ways of the world. The devil will tempt us many ways, but the lust of the flesh is one way, when we allow the desires of our flesh to grow above the desires of wanting to serve God we have hurt our connection, keep God first and foremost.

My girlfriend just sent me a verse and I think it is incredible and timely. The verse is: Psalm 19:14 "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."

As I write this blog I am reminded of a song:

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu’rors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
