1 Kings 10-11

What God said to me – To continually walk with Me from the time I call you until the end is a difficult thing.  It takes commitment and perseverance.  It is so easy to get off track and move away and yet so much harder to return.  I have placed you in the world so you might lift Me up and draw people to Me, but you are not to be of the world where they begin to influence your behavior and attitudes.  Solomon took many wives from idolatrous nations in disobedience to My commands and he allowed their influence to turn his heart from being wholly devoted to Me.  The result was judgment, not just on him, but on an entire nation.  Sin rarely affects only the one who sins but has long reaching results.  Guard your heart and mind and stay close to Me, knowing your sin can affect not just you, but your family and friends and church and nation.
