Deuteronomy 7:1-6

TURNING AWAY FROM FOLLOWING
For they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods…. Deuteronomy 7:4, NIV

The devotion today is a clear warning to every pilgrim of the Kingdom of God. God, through Moses, warned the Israelites on how to live when they get to the Promised Land. God made it clearly known to them that they were going to possess the Promised Land.

However, He strictly warned them to be careful of the kind of life they would live in the land. The reason is, God knew that they could easily be derailed by the things in the land.

In the contemporary time, God has promised us abundant life as Christians living in the world. However, we must carefully consider His warnings to us not to "be yoked together with unbelievers… (2 Corinthians 6:14). Anybody who is unequally yoked together with the world will surely be a victim of God's anger, which leads to destruction (v. 4).

Friends, how long would you turn away from following the Lord? Jesus loves you; He does not want your destruction. Would you turn to Him today so that you may have abundant life? He is waiting with an outstretched arm to receive you.
