Bible Verse of The Day – 3-30-21

1 Kings 3:3 (NKJV) 3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

We need to beware of the “excepts” in our own lives.

We may love the Lord and keep a lot of His commandments, but when there is an, except this or except that, we need to pay attention and deal with it immediately. We need to get to the root of it.

We need to work extra hard to keep those “excepts” out of our walk. Because it’s those very things that have a grip on us and many times keeps distance between us and God.

In Solomon’s day these ”high places” or elevated hilltops were off limits to God’s people. The pagans believed the closer they were to heaven, the greater the chance their prayer and sacrifices would reach their gods.

We need to remember Who our God is, and that we can reach Him at any time and from anywhere.

If we are in the valley or on the mountain, if we are in a hard place or in a happy place, our God will hear our cry and the praises from our lips.

Get rid of the “except” part of our walk, those things that bring distance between us and God, and move forward with Him in a more powerful, tight-knit, and fulfilling relationship than ever before. Amen.
