Reading:  Zechariah 4:3-7; 2 Peter 3:8;1 King 11:1-13 We have a real enemy - Satan.  He tries to trick us into thinking we can live our Christian walk and also live in the world, and keep them separate.  But we can't.  No where are we told this in God's Word.  It's a lie. Everypart of our lives must express our devotion and love of God and following Him in every part of our lives.  Another lie is that our education, skills, talents and thinking will help us overcome any task - using our own strength.  This isn't true.  You can't live out your calling without God's help.  Zechariah 4:6 Life lesson:  Solomon - a little compromise can lead to complete ruin. 1 kings 11:1-13 "I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about You, It's all about You, Lord. I'm sorry for the thing I've made it when it's all about You, all about You Jesus." (M Reedman )
