“I am the Lord your God, who bought you out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:1-2
God is King of the entire universe and all that is in it. He created it and made human behind because he wanted our friendship. It breaks his heart when we turn away, and seek satisfaction for our needs elsewhere. Yet his love still pursues us, and sets us free from the snares and the selfishness that enslave us.
*Does God really have first place in our lives? What other ‘gods’ might be taking up more space in our hearts than they should?
*What might be our ‘Egypt’ today – holding us in slavery, instead of letting us live in the freedom that has been won for us?
*What things or when have filled us with awe and wonder, and a totally fulfilling sense of God’s glory in the past year?
Matthew 22:37-39
37Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'
