Download MP3 (right click to save) You’re supposed to come back from your summer vacation in better shape than when you left, right? Well, I haven’t always. Sometimes I’ve come back more tired than when I left because I tried to pack so much in. Some people come back from vacations in pain from a sunburn, from physically overdoing it, or they come back broke from spending too much, or with lifetime regrets, or very far from God. I’m Ron Hutchcraft and you know it can happen in summer, or any time when your guard is down, or you’re away from people who know you, or you have more time on your hands. It’s called a spiritual vacation. It turns into a vacation from God, and maybe losing a life that matters. The most expensive vacation you’ll ever take because your enemy, the devil, never takes a vacation. Neither does the law that says, “Whatever you sow, you reap” (Galatians 6:7 ). In the summer, maybe more than any other time, keep these words from the Bible always in front of you, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Resist him” (1 Peter 5:8-9 ). On one night of carelessness, one night of spiritual vacation King David made a moral mistake that scarred the rest of his life. Whatever the thrill, it is not worth the bill. Hey, we’re looking to bulk you up a little spiritually this summer at our website. Would you visit us there? It’s ALifeThatMatters.org because God put you here to live a life that matters. This radio program references: Galatians 6:7 ; 1 Peter 5:8-9 |
