Do you give God attention?

Jealous for our own good.

Exo 34:14  For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God

God WANTS us. And why wouldn't He, He CREATED US. We are the WORKS of HIS hands and no others.

We understand on a human level what it means to be jealous over something we've created. We do not want others to take credit for our creations. Worse still, we don't want others to take something we love, truly love and destroy it.  Satan destroys us human being, that is his greatest purpose, to destroy God's creations.  God wants us! God is jealous for us! God does NOT want us to worship any other god, NOT because He wants to deprive us of a single thing! He wants to SAVE US!

We are to WORSHIP no other god but GOD.  We are to give God our ALLIGENCE, our LOVE, our ATTENTION.  Can you worship something without giving it attention?

Seriously, can you worship something- anything, without giving it attention?

No.

If you worship something or someone you give it time and quite frankly, a lot of it or you lie. 

You can lie to others, you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to God.

Is your worship real? Or do you mouth the words? Do you play act your worship?

Do you give God attention?

By the grace of God may we truly give God attention- may we truly worship God and NO OTHERS!

All in the name of our Savior- Jesus Christ!

Amen.
