Him Only

There are a lot of things that people worship: false gods, the gym, money, etc. What they most often find, though, is that none of those things have eternal significance. When our time on this earth is over, we will be taking none of the money we have amassed with us. There will come a time in our lives that physical strength will wane. And, I would hate to think about entering into eternity without the One True GOD.

It seems that people will make a god out of anything. Some folks love to "worship" creation instead of the Creator. Isn't the One that created it more significant, more worthy of praise than what has been created?

Today's word is Luke 4:8, ESV, which reads, "And JESUS answered him, 'You shall worship the LORD your GOD, and Him ONLY shall you serve."

JESUS was in the desert being tempted by satan, when satan tells Him that if He would just worship him that he would give JESUS authority over things and give Him things of this earth. But, JESUS, GOD Himself, knew that anything satan could offer far paled in comparison with what GOD would give His children. Nor only an abundant life here, but eternity in Heaven.

What are you chasing? Are you spinning your wheels, going nowhere fast? Are you stuck in a rut with no way out. Are you looking for that magic bullet that will make everything better? Are you thinking that more money, more stuff, more whatever is going to fill the void you feel? There is only One that can fill that void and make you feel satisfied - His name is JESUS. Worship Him ONLY.

Be Blessed,
