Christians. Sisters. Best Friends.
When we are putting anything before God, that is idolatry. We create our own idols. It doesn’t have to be the great golden calf or something we are literally bowing down to, to be an idol. Anything that we are putting in front of God, we are in a sense worshiping. And aren’t we bowing to them? Serving them? Giving our time, our energies and our talents to them? These things are our godship. We didn’t have time for God today because this, that and also the other. God deserves to be first. We all do it, in some way or another. Sometimes it’s even the works we are doing for God. Think about it, I didn’t have time to sit down with the Bible today, I was serving the poor all day or how about editing a podcast. See we do it too. We need to be conscious of this, so we can take the steps to give God the worship. When we put things between us and God, we break the connection and the path that we have with God. We are not seeking His help like we should, His guidance, His peace, the list goes on! God doesn’t leave us but we are the ones not staying connected. He is for our good and we need to give Him the glory and our time, our worship. God is a righteously jealous God. The only one who has a right to Jealousy. He is jealous for our good. Please continue to pray for Christina and Melissia, for keeping God in the focus, guiding them.
Deuteronomy 32:20-21 CSB
20 ”He said, “I will hide my face from them; I will see what will become of them, for they are a perverse generation — unfaithful children. 21 They have provoked my jealousy with what is not a god; they have enraged me with their worthless idols. So I will provoke their jealousy with what is not a people; I will enrage them with a foolish nation.“
1 John 5:20-21 CSB
”And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true one. We are in the true one — that is, in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols.“
