Scripture:
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."
Rev. 3:14-15
Observation:
God speaks to us being lukewarm in our affections toward Him more then one way. Rev. 3:1 says, "I know your works that you are alive, but you are dead." Luke 6:46 says, "Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do the things that I say?" God is always speaking to the core of our attitudes and motives. His love is to draw us closer to Him in simple obedience for our everyday lives.
Application:
I struggle to give up my own selfish concerns that keep me from being closer to God each and everyday. I feel silly and immature when I realize how much time I spend thinking about "what I want, what I need, what will make me feel better! All of these "wants" keep me from hearing God.
Prayer:
Lord, forgive me for my selfish attitude. Continue to teach me to do and care about the things that you care about that You are glorified. Thank You for Your grace that I do not deserve.
