From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – The Danger of the Divided Heart

Dear Friends,

One of the most sobering truths in Scripture is that a divided heart cannot stand. It wavers between the sacred and the secular, between the things of God and the distractions of the world. In Exodus 20:3 (NLT), God speaks with unmistakable clarity: “You must not have any other god but me.” This is not a gentle suggestion—it is a divine command meant to protect our souls and preserve our relationship with Him.

But how often do we find ourselves pulled in two directions? We want to follow God, yet we cling to things we know we should surrender. We profess faith with our lips, but our hearts are entangled in pursuits that offer no eternal value. Whether it’s the pursuit of wealth, the fear of missing out, or the obsession with image and recognition, these distractions erode our devotion and weaken our witness.

The first pillar of a God-Centered Life urges us to make God our only focus—not one among many. When He is not first, He is not truly present at all. A heart shared with idols is not a heart that honors the Lord.

Let us pray today for undivided devotion. Let us ask God to expose the false gods we have entertained, and by His strength, tear them down. There is peace and power in a life wholly surrendered.

Faithfully yours,
Brother Jesse
