Exodus 34:14
“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:”
What other gods do we have before us? Sports? Politics? Our job or maybe the job we think we want? Money? TV/Movies? Phone? Social Media? Books/Magazines/Newspaper? Romance? Family? The list could go on and on. Yet, most of these things could and can be done to the glory of God if used in a godly way. But, the question is; do we?
We are a society geared toward overindulgence or as God put it “Gluttony”. Not just with food and beverage. But in everything aspect of our modern lives we strive to overindulge in everything around us. Sadly, it is nothing more than the flesh warring against the Spirit. It is man's way of clinging to his youthful lust and refusing to follow the ways of our Lord and Savior.
What of you my dear reader? Are you making God jealous with your worship of worldly false gods? As the writer, I include myself in this.
Read the next few verses after verse 14. God gets pretty detailed in what makes Him jealous.
Think on these things today. We must examine ourselves and seek the face of the Lord in all we do.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
