Happy Valentines Day - Proper placement of Desire


S - Scripture
1 Timothy 6 v. 9  But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 

O - Observation
Proper placement of desire. God wants desire, passion. Jesus said in Matthew 22 v. 37, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." Now THAT is passion. That is proper placement of desire. It is only logical that Satan would want to replace the object of desire with something else, like money. But, that is a core problem. 1 Timothy 6 v. 10, "For the Love of money is the root of all evils; it is thru this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their heart with many pangs."

A - Application
What is my desire? What is my passion?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Instill a strong desire in me to Love you with all my heart, soul and mind.  Love Will.
