Don’t Play with Fire

June 9, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Do not give the devil a foothold.

Ephesians 4:27, NIV

Today’s Word

We all have positive attributes in our family line, people who passed down courage, talent, and good attitudes. There are also negative attributes that have caused heartache and pain, things that have kept people from their potential. It’s important to recognize that there are genes passed down that make you predisposed to the attributes. But the beauty is that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen automatically. You get to choose whether you activate that gene or leave it lying dormant. The key is to take the positive, build on the good things, and leave the negative attributes behind. 

Don’t open the door to the negative attributes, to alcohol, compromise, bitterness, low self-esteem, poverty, divorce, or anger. Don’t wake that up. You’re going to be tempted. If you crack the door a little, the enemy is going to push and push. He’d love for all that negative baggage to be passed from you to the next generation. Don’t think you can compromise just a little, be dishonest just a little, run with the wrong crowd just a little. Don’t play with fire.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I can guard my heart and mind against all the negative things that have been passed down to me. Thank You that I can activate the positive attributes and keep the door closed to the negative. I will not give the enemy a foothold or play with fire. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
