And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written,
'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Luke 4:8
I have gotten behind. I have been putting this off. I read this verse and I think about its implications and I don't want to. Only worship God. Only worship God. As in, don't worship other things; while I don't write songs of praise for many things, I can't say that their aren't things I worship.
All I have to think about is the way I spend my time, my money, my energy, my thoughts and I soon realize that not only do I worship things that aren't God, I tend to worship them more and better. I can talk a good game, I've been told that I can bring out new things from scriptures that have been taught a thousand times. Yet, too often I would rather spend my life in other pursuits, toward other goals than holiness and purity and serving.
I serve God. I serve others, which I believe also serves God. I also serve myself which often is no where near serving God. Maybe you're doing better, maybe you've got it figured out. If you do, I am open to advice. If you don't either, maybe we can help each other out.
+ Is God the only one you worship?
+ Is God the only one you serve?
