Thoughts and quotes from No Other Gods by Kelly Minter today: 2 Kings 17:31,41 They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their childrens children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. God was getting my worship on some level, but my gods were getting my service. I serve God, but so often I serve my gods and idols as well. Whats discouraging is that many times if I am not careful, I give my gods more time, attention, and energy than I give my God. God let my life show that you are truly my God by keeping everything else off and away from Your throne. Its rare that we come across someone who has broken the mold, one who truly lives—albeit imperfectly—with God as the driving force and love of their life. So many of us claim and worship God, but weve come to accept a lifestyle that depends upon most everything else. And whatever we depend upon we will most definitely serve. When we try to house both God and gods, we are left with halfhearted living. It is painfully ungratifying. And I believe its possibly one of the reasons why so many of us—including me—have been stuck. Basically, we have edged God out. We have left him with little room in our hearts. Our false gods have taken up our most treasured spaces; we leave God no place to show himself strong on our behalf. God, let me live a lifestyle that depends upon nothing else but you. When I dont give God His place, He does not give me His power.
