In Exodus 20:3, God gave a clear commandment to His people Israel, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (NKJV). To me this means we should not let any person or thing become a priority over our relationship with God. Jesus took the command further in quoting Deut 6:5, He told us that we are to love God with all our heart, soul and mind (Matt 22:37). We are to worship and serve only God (Matt 4:10) and to delight in and meditate on His word (Ps 1:2). Making God our head is a sacrificial process, humbly putting Him first in all that we are, do and think. “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matt 16:24-25; NKJV). As we give Christ our lives, we will find the kind of life that God has for us; an abundant, fulfilling life, serving as His ambassadors on this earth (John 10:10b, 2 Cor 5:20). Jesus said that if we love Him and obey His words then He and the Father will, “make Our home” with us (John 14:23; NKJV), Jesus lives in us (Rom 8:9-10). As we submit all of our plans, visions and aspirations to the Lord He will make sure they are in line with His will, therefore guaranteeing us success, peace and fulfillment (Prov 16:3). Lord, I lay my life down before You today, have Your way.
