No Other Gods Before Me
“Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3
What is an idol and how does it come to be?
An idol is created when a man takes his own ideas and puts them into the work of his hands and begins to worship that. What he is really worshiping is himself.
You may say, “I’m not guilty of idolatry.” Well, let’s see about that.
- Is there anything you love more than God?
- Is there anything you fear more than God?
- Is there anything you serve more than God?
- Is there anything you trust more than God?
Am I getting hot? You say, “Well, I give God a place in my life.” God doesn’t want just a place in your life. Then, you say, “Well, I give God prominence in my life.” God despises prominence in your life. God demands preeminence in your life. He will take nothing less.
Is there anyone or anything in your life that takes precedence over God? If so, confess it and repent of it. Now, put on the throne the rightful Master — the Lord Jesus!
