Lust

What is lust? Lust can be defined in many ways, but it is certainly the unhealthy desire for some object. If we are not alert, lust can easily find it's way into our lives. It can be found in various forms and can easily lead us astray. I have a friend that says that it is not just about sex, he admits to a lust for books. For men lust can easily spotted, while in women lust can often go undetected.
What do you lust for? Clothing... Vacations... Money... Shoes... Cars... A Job... the list can go on and on.
Jesus said that we must be careful, for the lust of the flesh can lead us far away from God's way in this world. It seems to me that we must learn to be content and to provide ourselves a chance to slow down. If we don't slow down, we will most often find ourselves in the same rat race as millions of others. Slowing down is not easy, but my personal testimony is that it is best and the only way we will truly hear the Lord speaking to us. Our lives are way to NOISY!!
Today I was able to slow down and reflect for a while... I am a very blessed person. God had blessed me with so much. Why I would I lust for more, when I already have more than I deserve!?!
