Choose your passions wisely

S - Scripture    
Proverbs 6 v. 27 Can a man carry fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?

O - Observation

Passion. This verse is a follow-up question to the verses prior where it talks about staying away from Adulteress affairs and sexual passion. But, you can apply this principle, this Proverb, to any ungodly passion. The desire to achieve wealth. Proverbs 23 v. 4; " Do not toil to achieve wealth, be wise enough to desist."  The desire to be famous. Proverbs 25 v. 6-7; "Do not put yourself forward in the King's presence... for it is better to be told "Come up here" than to be put lower in the presence of the prince."  The point of the Proverb is really pointed out by Jesus in Matthew 6 v. 21, "For where your treasure is there will be your heart also."

 A - Application 

So... What is burning in my heart? Am I fireproof from the evil things in my life? 

P - Prayer     
Jesus, Protect my heart. Put a fire, a Passion for you in my heart. Love Will.
