"In all your ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct[a] your paths.
- Proverbs 3:6
I live for You alone, Lord. I give You my heart and I give You my soul. We were all created to worship and it is just a matter of who we decide to. Idolatry is the subtle silent spiritual killer because it happens so easily and without warning. "You shall have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3 We can become obsessed fans with celebrities, sports teams, some are obsessive in their personal relationships so it is a choice. After all my hard knocks I consciously choose to worship the One and Only King of Kings. He is my everything and He is worthy to be praised. I exalt His name on High and He comes before all else. Where does He rank on your scale? You all know my story of idolatry (it is a published post) and how sad I was placing more effort and attention to my kittens and pool than He? What kind of wretch was I? So there is no need to be embarrassed if He has slipped down your pole. Everyone is so busy running here and working there, we forget the One who created and gave it all. Don't make the same mistakes I made....catch yourself today. Let this be a call from Him asking you to please take a spiritual look at yourself, your priorities, your schedule. A faulty self-evaluation is an obstacle to walking by the Spirit. He needs to be first. Someone once said our checkbooks can tell a person about our hearts for obedience by our tithes and offerings. How is your church attendance, service in local ministries? It is time to take your spiritual self exam....hope you pass with Godly colors.
