Our hearts are constantly pulled on by career, money, or relationships. But whenever we chase worldly values to satisfy our deepest desires, we are actually “cheating” on God. This message from Deuteronomy 13 reveals why a divided heart makes remaining faithful to God so difficult. Thankfully, Jesus perfectly passed the test and freely offers grace whenever we inevitably stumble. Run back to Him today, receive His forgiveness, and let His unending loyalty completely restore your relationship with God!
