No Treaty With The Enemy

Scripture:

Exodus 34:12  "Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you".

Observation:

God made a covenant with Moses concerning the people he was leading.  In the covenant, God told him that when they entered the land of their enemies to possess it, that they should not make any covenants or agreements with them and that they shouldn't marry the daughters of the enemy.  He wanted to make sure his people would never worship or serve other gods.  God said that these enemies would become a snare to them.

Application:

We need to make sure that we are not compromising with the enemy in any area of our lives.  We are in covenant with the King of Kings and cannot have any other gods or competition with Him in our lives.  When we compromise with the enemy, he will always become a snare or trap to us.  we want to live free from all entrapments of the enemy.

Prayer:

Father God, You are amazing and I love You.  Help me to have no other gods in my life and to not compromise in any area.  You are the only one I want to be snared by.  I am Yours and Yours alone.  Strengthen me to live a life of no compromise.

Yours,
Jeff
