No one can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
Matthew 6:24 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
We can only have one God. I
believe that is part of why God refers to Himself as the “One true God.” There
are in fact many things which could become gods to us, and many other gods in
other religions. He is not the only god which exists, but He is the only True
God Who made all of creation. He is more powerful than all others. He is the
only One who knows all things, who has always existed, who sustains all of life
and creation in Himself. Unfortunately, even we as Christians often forget
that. We praise and adore other things more highly than Him. We desire other
things more than Him. Other things have a higher priority in our lives than He
does. Anything that fits into even one of those categories is an idol. And we
cannot have both for we will love one and hate the other, or be devoted to one and
despise the other. That is just how it works. Imagine having two boyfriends or
girl friends at the same time, or trying to work two jobs at the same time
(both 9-5). It just doesn’t work. We have to choose who our true God is. We
have to choose who we will serve and love and be devoted to. Who do you choose?
What will you do to make Him first in your life?
