"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20:3
Explanation:
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, "Well, I'm not guilty of idolatry." Let's just see. 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 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.
Sa ating sarili sinasabi natin lagi na ang Diyos lamang ang Siyang nangunguna sa buhay natin, subalit yun ay sa salita lamang, wala sa gawa sapagkat taliwas ito sa nakikita sa atin. Sabi nga anumang bagay, o sitwasyon na mas higit sa Diyos matatawag nating pagsamba sa diyos-diyusan yun. Sapagkat sinasabi sa kasulatan na hindi ka makakapag-silbi sa dalawang master, iibigin ang isa at itatakwil ang isa. Yan ang ibig na wag mangyari ng Diyos sa atin sapagkat alam Niya ang kahinaan ng tao. Pero ano ang dapat gawin patungkol dito, ang tanging masasabi ko, pagsikapan natin na laging una ang Diyos sa ating buhay bilang panginoon, master, at kalakasan.
Is there anyone or anything in your life that takes precedence over God? Confess it and repent of it. Now, put on the throne the rightful Master -- the Lord Jesus!
