DEVOTION: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me." The Story p. 61
This first commandment is the greatest of commandments and all the other flow from this first one. If you don't have God as the first, foremost, and only God in your life none of the other commandments will matter to you. You will follow them if you want to, or not, it will be all up to you.
If the Almighty God is first and foremost in your life, then all of those other commandments will matter. You will see those commands as the utmost authority and when you don't follow them and are reminded of them, you will realize your sinfulness, weakness, and inability to control yourself at all times. The you will run to the Lord, fall at His feet, and ask for forgiveness.
In chapter five of The Story you will see that the Israelites had trouble with this command over and over again, and when they did things went really bad for them. When we have other gods before the one true God things often go badly for us too.
I want to encourage you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to make the Almighty, Triune God Lord of your life and your only true God today! Realize that you haven't always done so, and repent of your sin so that you may experience the grace and peace of Christ for your life.
Let us pray: Lord God, bless us with the ability to keep You first in our lives this week and always. Amen.
