Today's Scripture *July 12, 2010*
Exodus 34: 12-14
“Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles. You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
God told the Israelites not to join in religious rites with the sinful people around them, but to give their absolute loyalty and exclusive devotion to Him. Pagan worship simply cannot be mixed with the worship of the Holy God. As Jesus pointed out, “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Luke 16: 13)
Love of money is the god of this age, and many Christians attempt to make a treaty with this enslaving god. Are you trying to worship two gods at once? Where is your first allegiance?
Heavenly Father, we worship You and You alone.
Help us to daily pledge our first allegiance to You.
May we trust in You to be our Provider and our Sustainer.
Guide us with Your Holy Spirit and Your Living Word as we go through each new day.
We love You, Lord. And it is You that we worship, and You alone.
In Your Son's Precious Name, Amen..
Have a blessed week!
In His Service,
April
