You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me

Exodus 20:3

You shall have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:3)

While on this earth, it is possible to prioritize other "gods" over the one true God, which is known as idol worship. An idol refers to anything a person worships instead of God—placing their hope in it, seeking guidance, assistance, or blessings from it rather than from the God described in the Bible. God desires that you prioritize Him above all else in your life.

Are there any areas of your life where you are placing something before God?

This verse also serves as a prediction about the future. Eventually, there will come a time when you will kneel before God, and no other gods will stand between you and Him. In Romans 14:11, the Bible states: "As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God."

Make God your top priority, and remove any idols from your life. ~ Jeff M Newman
