Wes Latham delivered a message this week about yearning for God. He emphasized 3 things in scripture that point to an enemy that we need to dissolve:

1. Idols-Ezekiel 14

• We feel a desire for something that turns into a demand. The demand eventually turns into a right. This destroys our passion for God. We must allow God to take control of our heart.

2. Pride-James 4:1-7

• Pride is our enemy and humility is our best friend. We must submit ourselves to God.

3. Hardness of the heart- Romans 1:18-24

• God is kind and has mercy, but there comes a point when he will lift his hand from you.

What is in our hearts that we are holding before God?

Is what I am doing going to get me more of God?
