EXCLUSIVE FAITH – (Psalm 16)
If you’re trying to invest in the stock market, one thing they tell
beginners is that it is good to ‘diversify’. Basically, that means you
don’t want to do all of your investing in one fund or one realm in case
something unforeseen causes that particular area to fall apart. Having
your investments spread out can help you be protected. But with God,
that same principle would bring you ruin. Many through history have
tried to cover all their bases by worshiping many gods. The thought was
that if one god were to be false or weak, at least we were also serving
other gods who could still help us. But the true and living God is not
one of many, and will not be served as part of some spiritual
portfolio. Instead, He demands exclusive faith. Much like a marriage
only works when the relationship is completely exclusive of other
romantic connections, God is only truly ours when we worship Him alone.
