Who gets it?

"The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him." Deuteronomy 13:3--4

What part of you does the Lord get?

Does He get the best of you or the left overs?

At what part of your day are you the absolute best? Do you give that best part to the Lord, to yourself, your job, or someone or something else?

Do you save the best for yourself and then give God the other part? Cain did that. I have done that. The Israelites have done that. Have you?

Convicting? Yes! These are questions that need to be asked, they need to be addressed and answered. Answered honestly and sincerely.

God is a jealous God, "You must never worship or bow down to them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any other god!" 

He wants and commands us to put Him first. "Do not worship and other gods besides me." Deuteronomy 5:7 “And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength."  Deuteronomy 6:5-6

Whatever we put first in our lives becomes our god. That is why these questions are so important. They will show us where Christ is. We should become mindful of these every day. We also need to examine ourselves everyday making sure we are putting God first. We need to evaluate our priorities and make sure God is first and is the motive behind all we do. We need to recognize and confess of any god we might have or are placing before Him. It is a daily process and choice.

Who will you choose? Who will get the first and best part of you?

Jesus forgive me for putting anyone or anything before You. Amen
