How Do I Guard My Heart From Spiritual Drift? 02/15/26
Feb 15, 2026 • Dr. Tim Steele
In 1 Kings 11:1–13, Solomon’s life gives us a sobering warning that even the wisest heart can drift when obedience is neglected. Solomon began with humility and wisdom, but over time small compromises in his personal life led to a divided heart and spiritual decline. His misplaced affections pulled him away from wholehearted devotion to God, reminding us that wisdom alone is not enough if we refuse to walk in obedience. This message challenges us to examine where compromise may be quietly creeping into our lives, what voices or influences may be pulling our hearts away from God, and how we can return to faithful obedience. The key truth is clear: wisdom knows the truth, but obedience walks in it.
