Protected by Love
“For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there”
(James 3:16, NKJV)
All throughout scripture, God commands us to love. In fact, 1 Corinthians tells us that love is the greatest thing. Do you realize that we are protected when we walk in love? When we are selfish or self-seeking, the scripture tells us that it opens the door to confusion and every evil work. Just like when you go to a bad website that has a virus and bugs, you open your computer to internal damage.
But when we walk in love, when we choose to put others first, when we choose to be patient and kind, we are protected by God. We close the door to the plans of the enemy in our lives.
This weekend, check your love walk. Read 1 Corinthians 13 and see if you emulate the characteristics of love. Remember, love is not a feeling; it’s a choice. When you choose love, it’s like you are covered by a force field of protection that cannot be penetrated.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, I humbly come before You today asking that You search my heart. Remove any selfish way in me and help me to always walk in love. Thank You for protecting me through Your promises. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
