2 Kings_15
UnderstandingProtect your relationship with the LORD.Song of Solomon 2:15 Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoke the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.Little foxes can be such a nuisance for gardeners. Little foxes come in and eat your fruit that were not intended for them. They can ruin your garden, your days and months of hard work.You may not see them when they actually come in but you see the damage that is done, the holes that were dug, the flowerbeds that are torn.Little things can cause a big problem that can ruin a relationship.Watching T.V. Is not a big deal but when I am watching my favorite show instead of talking to my husband that I haven’t seen all day, that could create a distance in our relationship if it's done consistently.It's the same way with all our relationships but especially with the LORD which is the most important of all.There are so many little things throughout the day that can deter us from staying connected to the LORD, the mundane things like chores or down time, or no time. The list could go on.ApplicationGuard your time with the LORD.Psalm 63:3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.John 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'We have experienced Him and know that He is and has to be our foundation. Let’s fortify our walls of protection that secure our relationship with the LORD, that will keep us from falling away.Have a set time that you spend with LORD, like a date, an appointment, that is not meant to be interrupted or broken.Worship is one of the best ways that keeps us connected and we can stay connected throughout the day.Start fortifying your walls today. Take a look at your day and get rid of the little foxes that are creeping in. Seal up the holes by first guarding your most important relationship.
