REALLY SERIOUS
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 6-10

"Then Samuel said to all the people of Israel, If you are really serious about wanting to return to the Lord, get rid of your foreign gods and your images of Ashtoreth. Determine to obey only the Lord; then he will rescue you from the Philistines." 1 Samuel 7:3 NLT

Really serious.

Not just playing around at returning to God.

Not just wanting Him on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Not just in His house at Christmas and Easter.

Not just to have a nice line or two in your obituary.

Not just so the neighbors think highly of you, your family will get off your back or your social circle enlarges.

Not just because of the heritage you've been left or the heritage you always wished you had.

Really serious about returning to God. Putting Him first. Giving your best, your most, your heart to Him.

Really serious.
