Something about watching romantic comedies makes us relationship gurus.
We can see potential threats to fidelity and loyalty from a mile away...within the unrealistic confines of one of Hollywood's steadfast genres.
- "No! Don't go out with him! Can't you see he doesn't really care about you?"
- "That guy better stop hanging out after work with her..."
- "What are they THINKING??!?"
But when it comes to real life, we struggle a bit.
In fact, we struggle so much that it wouldn't hurt to get the 13th quote about Jesus (on azquotes.com's top-25 list) put on a pair of contact lenses so it was always in front of us:
"Beware of anything
that competes with your loyalty
to Jesus Christ." - Oswald Chambers
Truth is...Whether it's commitment to a sports team or loyalty to a job or even dedication to a particular idea about Jesus, anything that takes precedence ahead of allegiance to the actual person of Jesus is a foundation of shifting sand.
P.S. You are invited to have Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest" daily readings actually read to you by checking out the "My Utmost for His Highest Daily Reading" Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/UtmostReading)
