He Alone Gives Us Life, Peace, and Eternal Hope
📖 Scripture:
“You shall have no other Gods before me.” – Exodus 20:3 (NIV)
🙌🏻 Devotional:
Anything we put above Him — whether people, possessions, or personal ambitions — becomes an idol. This verse calls us to examine our hearts, prioritize God above all else, and live in obedience and devotion to Him.
❓ Reflection Questions
- What are the “gods” in my life that I may be putting before God?
- How can I practically put God first in my daily routine and decisions?
- In what ways have I felt peace or freedom when I chose God over other distractions or desires?
- How can I guard my heart against letting anything take the place of God?
🙏🏻 Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Forgive me for the times I’ve placed other things before You in my life — whether it’s my ambitions, relationships, comfort, or approval from others. Help me to keep You first in everything I do. Lord, take the throne of my heart and guide my decisions, thoughts, and actions. Let my life honor You alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
