Deuteronomy 5:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
God is Sovereign, all-powerful, and without rival. So it is
absolutely amazing that he repeatedly chooses to bless us with his grace before
he calls us to worship and obedience. In most other religions, their gods
demand adherence, sacrifice, and obedience before their favor is acquired. But
the One True and Living God offers grace and then calls us to obedience. Not only
does he have the right to ask us to have no other gods, he is worthy of being
our only God because of his demonstrated love and his incomparable glory!
Thought for today:
Have I given thought to the amount of grace/freedom that God gives me?
