PROVING GROUNDS
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 13-15

"...The Lord your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul." Deuteronomy 13:3 NLT

The passage warns about idolatry.

It is very implicit in regards to what the children of Israel must do about things that tempt them to wander away from God.

Even the smallest things.

Even the tiniest of temptations.

Things will happen that draw our hearts away from God.

Good things.

Lives that unintentionally become crazy, hectic and godless.

Ministries that keep us from worship.

Rules and regulations that keep us from loving.

Abilities that keep you from giving Him all the glory.

We will all be faced with things that bear the marks of proving to God if He is our Lord, or not.

What might it be today? Who might it be today? How might it happen today? When might you be faced with it? Where will it occur?
