God vs gods

As Paul affirms in Ephesians 4:6, there is only "one GOD."  Just as surely, however, Moses affirms in Exodus 20:3 that there are "other gods."  

There is only one GOD who created us but there are many gods that we create. Anything that commands a greater commitment from us than Jehovah is a god to us. 

Just think of the "sacrifices" we make to "get ahead."  Think of the men who have offered up their families on the altar of "sexual indiscretion."  How many have sacrificed their freedom paying tribute to "greed?"  

These gods are forever in our ears saying, "You know you want that - go ahead, scratch that itch."  The only way to defeat them is to fill your mind, heart and soul with GOD's Word.  Whoever we listen to the most will gain our ear and our life.

Simply put, our lives will either be ordered around the truly divine or we will order them around the things we elevate to divine status.  As revealed in Matthew 6:25-33, we will either "seek first the kingdom of God" or we will seek after "all these [other] things."  Which do you choose?  Jus' Ask'n.
