"Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties" (Psalm 141:4). "Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat… My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:3,26). "I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will… remove thy candlestick " (Revelation 2:4,5).
The Lord beholds
our heart's desire;
He sees the
coldness of our love.
May we rekindle
first love's fire
And set our
hearts on things above!
The empty
"dainties" we behold
Betray the soul
with vain deceit
And leave the
heart depressed and cold
Because they are
deceitful meat.
Let such
distractions now depart,
So we may heed the
invitation
To fully give to
God our heart
As we rejoice in
His salvation.
Lord, as You find
our hearts aloof
Where love's
first fire should be stirred,
Arrest us with
Your wise reproof
As You revive us
with Your Word.
