LOVING GOD ABOVE ALL
On ANY given day
At any given time
We have so MANY gods
With us
FALSE gods
Gods of gold=gods of
Others' opinions=gods of safety=
Of food=technology=family=and
EVEN pleasure gods
And SOMETIMES=some of us=
Even think of OURSELVES
As gods
“You are a man
And NOT a god=
However=you may
Think yourself LIKE a god............” Ezekiel 28:2
Like Adam and Eve
Some of us think
We KNOW BETTER
Than God
We WANT to be our
OWN gods=SUBSTITUTING
Ourselves for him
So many FALSE gods=let us
ALWAYS put our LORD & GOD
ABOVE ALL ELSE
“At that TIME
If anyone says to you
'Look=here is the MESSIAH!'-or-
'There he is'
Do NOT believe it
For FALSE messiahs and
FALSE prophets will appear
And perform great signs
And wonders=to DECEIVE
If possible=even the elect
SEE=I have told you
AHEAD of time” Matthew 24:23-25
“More than that
We are then
Found to be
FALSE witnesses about God
That he RAISED Christ
From the dead
But he did NOT
Raise him
If in fact
The dead are NOT RAISED” 1 Corinthians 15:15
Loving God=the REAL GOD=
ABOVE ALL
Sometimes we seek to
DO God's will
For our own ends
NOT FOR GOD'S
THIS is the most
DIFFICULT TEMPTATION=for it
IS the subtlest
Replacing God
With ourselves
IS the ultimate sin
And the ULTIMATE loneliness
Let us TRULY LOVE GOD=and
All others ABOVE ourselves=for this is
The MOST IMPORTANT commandment
“Jesus replied=
'LOVE the Lord your God
With ALL your heart
And with
All your soul
And with ALL your mind
This is the FIRST and
GREATEST COMMANDMENT” Matthew 22:37-38
My DEAR LORD=help us to
LET you love us=and TEACH US
TO LOVE YOU=ABOVE ALL
In Jesus' name and in the name of
The ALMIGHTY LOVING FATHER
