No Other
Gods
As Pastor Greg
spoke about God’s commandment “have no other god’s before me,” in my mind I
could see a cleared path leading to the Almighty. Pushed to both sides are the
things that have taken over my thoughts and time in front of God. A lot of
these things are good in themselves, even wonderful, but if they get in the way
of God being the center of our lives then we have an idol.
If worrying
about your children takes over from the trust you have in God, then you need to
give them over to Him. Praise God for what He has planned for them, and trust.
He really cares more about them than even you do, anyway.
If church ministry prevents you
from spending alone time with God, then you need to put it in its place.
Even pain can take over your
mind, filling it with negativity and depression. Actively pushing these
thoughts aside may take great effort. Get others to help by praying for you.
There are so many things that
take your eyes off of God. Push them out of the way with a purposeful shove.
God is a jealous god. Not jealous of
other gods, gods that don’t even exist, but jealous for you, in wanting you to experience the very best of the love and
care He wants to give you.
