Dallas reality check for believers
When I heard about the Dallas shooting, I went to bed with a heavy heart. The Lord placed three Scriptures on my heart as I laid in my bed, weeping and praying.
Jesus said, “Because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matt. 24:12) He saw it coming across the millennia. He told us this not to scare us but to prepare us.
“Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.” Prov. 4:23
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” Matt. 10:16
You and I aren’t accountable for the conditions of anyone else’s heart. We are each accountable for our own heart, attitudes, actions, and behaviors.
Therefore, what I am telling myself I will share with you: Don’t let your love grow cold, guard your heart, be shrewd [alert] AND be innocent.
