Scripture:

Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.

What Gets Into You Gets You

Solomon reminds us today that what we digest, what we intake into our lives is what gets us, this is not just information, it is a warning to guard what we allow into our lives, the content we digest, the people we surround ourselves with.   

Lot when he and Abraham parted ways, Lot chose to settle near the Jordan and it says that he faced his tent toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and before you know it he is living in that city.

There is a Casting Crowns song that says: 

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands
As darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you
That are sure to follow

So, we must guard the gates of our lives, what we allow in them, the eye gate, the ear gate, even the social gate of our life.

So, todays God Shot is to guard the gates, to be intentional about feeding yourself with the right things, not allowing the things that could drag you away.  If we head Solomon's warning, that as a man thinks so is he, then we should guard the gates.

Lord, keep our eyes and our ears and our feet close to the things that you would have for our lives, let our feet not slip, nor our desires drag us away, keep us nearest to you, close enough to hear your whisper, in Jesus' name, Amen!
