Food For Thought Fridays

The other night during our family devotional, Caleb was holding a Lego Pirate in his hand. As we were talking, he was telling me about all the things he loved. Then he stopped mid-sentence and said, "I was going to say that I love Legos more than God, but I had to rearrange that."

I said, "A lot of us do, son."

We put too many things before God. We constantly need to be looking at our lives and make sure that things don't need to be rearranged.

Love money, love things, love movies, love internet, . . . love life. Love anything more than Jesus and things need to be rearranged.

Don't be fooled, Jesus is superior to all.

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. Hebrews 1:1-4

I love these verses. God has spoken to us and these verses tell us what He has said.

Jesus is the greatest, most radiant, most powerful, most majestic, most holy, most excellent being. Anything we put before Him would be idiotic.

It may not be Legos, but examine your life and look for things that need to be rearranged because God has spoken. Don't miss what He said.

Shalom.
