No other gods

How does it make you feel when you see God taken out of everything? No more Ten Commandments in the courthouse? No prayer in school? It makes me sad. Why would anyone want to? God is good! His commandments are good! They are so important! If we as a society would follow them so many things would be better. Let’s take a look at just the first one. Exodus 20:3 you shall have no other gods before me. A religious leader once asked Jesus which one of the commandments was the most important. (Mark12:30-31)He said love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And second love your neighbor as yourself. Study that over in your mind a few minutes! If we actually loved God as Jesus described it here we would be so focused on pleasing God that following his commands would be a delight!! And then if we coupled that with caring for our neighbors, meaning people, as much as we cared for ourselves, how much better do you think society would look today? If we say we love God but we don’t act like it then do we really? Dear God, every day you help us, provide for us, love us and still we ignore you so much of the day!! Forgive us. Forgive me!! Help us to love you,Love your commands, and Love our neighbors!!
God bless you my dear friends!! Have a great one!
