God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Wednesday 18 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Exodus 20:3  "You shall have no other gods before Me"

For the next ten days the Holy Spirit has put on my heart to review the Ten Commandments.  In the world that we live in a review of God's Ten Commandments will be a reminder to the believer of how our Almighty God wants us to live our lives.

"No other gods", means that God must be given absolute priority.  This commandment is key to all the others.  Unless we commit ourselves to God, and to God alone, our hearts will be drawn away from the righteousness the Ten Commandments command.  For ancient Israel "other gods" were pagan idols.  For us today "other gods" may be the pursuit of wealth or pleasure.  If our commitment to the Lord is complete, keeping the rest of the Ten Commandments will follow naturally.

God was not to be viewed by Israel as one God among many nor as the best of the gods.  He was and still is the only living God.  He and He alone was to be worshiped, obeyed, and adored by the Israelites then and us today.

Today's Hymn: "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" 

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy Grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, calls for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  As we serve you the One true and Living God may we as we live our lives for you not place the things of "THIS WORLD" above our worshiping you as the Almight God.  May we give you our hearts and minds and and make You the priority of our lives, and may we "NOT BE OF THIS WORLD".
                                                                                                                           Amen

Today's Biblical Truth:  "The lingering effects of righteousness will last far longer than the lingering effects of wickedness"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T,  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Yours in Christ,
Cindi
