(1) You shall have no other gods before me.
(2) You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them....
(3) You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
(4) Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Exodus 20:3-8 NIV
These first four Commandments are all about our relationship to God. He wants our undivided attention — our unwavering devotion. And He’s earned it, hasn’t He?
So what gods do we put before Him? I don’t have any gods at my house. Or do I? I would propose that anything that takes all my time and attention away from the Lord could be considered a god.
- IPhone
- Family
- Books
- Civic projects
- Church
- Exercise
- Garden
- Work
If I don’t have time every day to spend in the Word, then I need to find something to cut out. Nothing should come between me and the Lord.
Father, You are the most important thing in my life. Help me to guard my heart against things that want to steal me away.
