Jesus, My Only God

1 John 5:21

Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Just moments before the Israelites finally entered the promised land, God once again told Moses His rules. One of them was to destroy all the carved images and cast idols of the people on that land. God wanted the Israelites to make God be the only one they worshipped. 

Worshipping is what is going on inside your heart at all times. When you worship the true GOD, whatever you do, will be to make God happy. When you worship something else, and it becomes an idol in your life, you will become less like God and more like whatever you worship.

God is the only one who is able to fulfill your deepest need and give the joy you seek. He deserves to be the one who has the most room in your heart. Let Him be the only God you worship. 

Let’s take a moment to think about what can take away God’s place from your heart. Celebrities, social media, money, or games might be catching your attention, but they cannot love you like God loves you. They do not save you like God has saved you.

Prayer

Dear God, let there be no other gods in my life, except You. I belong to You. Amen.
