No Other Gods

7/28/2015

"You shall have no other gods before Me.  You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth." -Exodus 20:3-4 (NASB)
The commandment to have no other gods seems to be an easy and straightforward requirement.  God is to be the one and only God of our lives, but, as the world pushes in and our schedules become hectic, this is sometimes easier said than done.  As we live our lives we need to take care and keep God as our focus.

God should always be our primary focus, but there are times when the busyness of our lives can capture our focus and distract us from God.  We can be distracted by money, whether too much or not enough.  We can be distracted by a schedule that is full, causing us to rush without taking time for God.  We can be distracted by an accumulation of stuff.  We can be distracted by our jobs and the requirements of work.  The list of distractions can go on and on.  To keep our lives free of other gods, we need to remain focused on the one true God by talking to Him, listening to Him, studying His Word, and praising and worshiping Him.  If we are focused on Him, He will help take care of our distractions.

Keep your life free of false gods by communicating with and staying focused on the one true God!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me and showing me Your greatness as the one true God.  Help me keep my life centered on You.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
