Deuteronomy 5:6-7 No Other gods!

 6“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 

7You shall have no other gods before Me.

No Other gods!

“In the days of ancient Israel, there was great temptation to worship the gods of materialism (Baal, the god of weather and financial success) and sex (Ashtoreth, the goddess of sex, romance, and reproduction), or any number of other local deities. We are tempted to worship the same gods, but without the old-fashioned names and images.” (Guzik)

Notice what David Guzik says, “We are tempted to worship the same gods”

I freely admit one of my gods is lust, I deal with it on a daily basis and another god is television. It captures your eyes and your ears and draws you in. I also deal with the god of news, I try to turn it off but it’s hard! Not news on television, I seek the truth and at times find myself wasting time when I should be serving the Lord in prayer or evangelism.

If you say to yourself, I am not like this man Lord, I will remind you of the Pharisee!

Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

What god are you tempted to worship today?
