The first commandment in the Bible is "you shall have no other gods before me." Which sounds like it shouldn't be a big deal, especially to our modern ears. But if you stop to think about it, what is God saying here? He's saying, don't put anything or anyone before me.

This can look different in each of our own lives, but the fact is, we all do it. For example, you could be someone who prioritizes the comfort of your couch instead of meeting with your church community. It could mean you prioritize control and find yourself overworking so you can control your financial future instead of trusting the God will provide for you. You could find yourself obsessively checking your social feeds to find your worth in pixelated hearts or a thumbs up because you prioritize approval of others. Over God's approval of you.

Every single human being is made to worship. The problem is, we're giving the wrong 'gods' the wrong attention instead of giving it to the only God that is worthy of it.

What are you worshipping? What do you deem worth-y?
