God is admittedly a jealous God. He cherishes His people’s affections and will tolerate no rivals. He is not content to just be another priority in our lives, He wants to be the Priority. God demands our exclusive devotion. He does not condone unfaithfulness or attitudes and habits that threaten His central place in our hearts. Let us take a quick inventory to see what is competing for God’s foremost position in our lives! What priority have we given God in our everyday life? Or are we busying ourselves in inconsequential activities and earthly pursuits? What keeps us from loving God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength? God is a jealous God: He wants our devotion. His Spirit can grow that kind of love in our hearts. Why not lay our bad attitudes, destructive habits, and false gods at His feet today? — Exodus 20:3,5
