Daily Devotional Based on the Spiritual Classic He and I

Who is your God, you or I? Then why don’t you think of Me, more than of yourself?

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

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be acceptable in thy sight,
    O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14).

3 Thou dost keep him in perfect peace,
    whose mind is stayed on thee,
    because he trusts in thee. (Isaiah 26:3)

O Lord, how much time we spend thinking about ourselves. Most of us think about ourselves pretty much 24:7. And yet we say we love You and want to follow You. But the reality is from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). Because if we are thinking of ourselves we can be sure we are also talking about ourselves. And we wonder why we are full of fear, anxiety, and worry- maybe even anger and resentment because with You we can do nothing! (John 15:45). And without You, we really aren’t even good (Mark 10:18). Because all good gifts including goodness and kindness come from You! You are Our God, and it is by keeping our eyes and mind fixed on You that You can truly live in us and we can live in Your perfect peace, trusting in You! So let’s smash those idols we have made for ourselves and of ourselves and let us truly walk with You today Lord!
