January Topic: OBEDIENCE IS GREATER THAN SACRIFICE |
Of all the things I have had to learn over the length of my lifetime - this is the most important. If we don't get this right, the rest is impossible. So let's spend this first month of the year getting our priorities in the correct order. |
Exodus 20:3
YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME
God can't really mean that can He? I mean, lets get real. God is spirit, so I can't see Him. How can I know He is really there or that He really cares whether He is No. 1 or not. I'm committed to God. I read my Bible, pray, go to Church, try and live the Christian life as best I can, in the circumstances, bearing in mind my heritage, family commitments, work commitments, sport commitments, leisure activities and T.V. watching. You're not asking me to question any of these activities are you? I've got to be relevant to this culture and society. God doesn't want me to be a hermit - out of touch with the "real world".
Tell me, what is the "real world"? The "temporary" or the "eternal"? Jesus didn't become "a pimp" to be able or qualified to speak to the prostitute or the adulteress....
"He went up into the mountain while it was still dark." He communed with God before being able to converse with the people. Maybe if I spent more time with God, I'd be more effective with everyone else!
If Jesus really were to spend the day with you in person - would He still feel you had no other gods before Him at the end of the day?
As you pray why not ask Him what He thinks about it!
