Jealous

Hellooooooo! Are We Listening
05/30/2021
When Moses first asked God what His name was, He replied, “I AM.” Then, after the golden calf episode, “I AM” makes it clear that because He is our all in all, Exodus 34:11-12, 14,  we are to live accordingly.
Be sure to observe what I am commanding you this day…
Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst. v 14—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—”  
It’s as if God is saying, “Hellooooo! Are you listening? I’m jealous when you put things and people above Me.” Ouch! That hits close to home. How do we know if we’re worshipping things and people above God? We look at where we spend our time. We consider what’s most on our minds. We look at our bank account to see where we spend our money. Our thoughts, time, and money tell us and God whom/what is our priority and object of our worship. Has something or someone other than the  Jealous I AM slipped into our life as god? If so, we must correct, not ignore it.

Heavenly Father, You are a JEALOUS God. May we not ignore but rather rectify any way we have put another thing or person above You.

Is anyone listening? I’m jealous when you put things and people above Me.” Ouch! That hits close to home. How do we know if we’re worshipping things and people above God? We look at where we spend our time. We consider what’s most on our minds. We look at our bank account to see where we spend our money. Our thoughts, time, and money tell us and God whom/what is our priority and object of worship. Has something or someone other than the Almighty Jealous I AM slipped into our life as god? If so, we must correct, not ignore it.

Heavenly Father, You are a JEALOUS God. May we not ignore, but rather rectify any way we have put another thing or person above You.

Hellooooooo!

 I love it when God says, “this is my name.” Then, in case we aren’t paying attention, He repeats Himself. “—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—” (Exodus 34:14)  It’s as if God is saying, “Hellooooo! Is anyone listening? I’m jealous when you adore things and people above Me.” Ouch! That hits close to home. How do we know if we’re worshipping things and people above God? We look at where we spend our time. We consider what’s most on our mind. We look at our bank account to see where we devote our money. Our thoughts, time, and money tell us and God whom/what we worship. Has something or someone slipped in as our god? If so, what will we do about it?

Heavenly Father, You are JEALOUS when our thoughts, money, and time go to things and people above You.  Forgive us. Show us how to hurriedly right this wrong.

“—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—”

 I love it when God says, “this is my name.” Then, in case we aren’t paying attention, He repeats Himself. “Hellooooo! Is anybody listening? I’m jealous when you worship other gods. Don’t do it! Worship Me.”

Heavenly Father, You are JEALOUS for our affection and worship. Please help us remember to not put other people, interests, or affections before You, our precious Lord and  Savior.

JEALOUS

“—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—” 

Exodus 34:14

 

I love it when God says, “this is my name.” Then, in case we aren’t paying attention, He repeats Himself. “Hellooooo! Is anybody listening? I’m jealous when you worship other gods. Don’t do it!”  

Lord God, You are JEALOUS for my affection and worship. And that I do.
