Who You Gonna Worship?

Prayer ~ Lord God, I love you and worship You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem, Israel

Who are you worshipping?
Where are you worshipping?

You must worship no other gods, for the LORD, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you. Exodus 34:14

 

Meditate. What does it mean to be jealous?

 

Are you going to worship a jealous God? I always thought of jealousy as a bad trait, but for God, it is actually a good trait. The desire of His heart is so great…with His love for us and His longing for us to love Him that makes it a positive characteristic. He is jealous for us…certainly not of us. It is not a good trait for any of us…but God declares that His very own name is Jealous.

The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies! Nahum 1:2

We certainly don’t want to be on the wrong side of God. Are you willing to worship a jealous God?

 

Verses of Salvation ~ Did God's people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves. Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God's offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it. Romans 11:11-12

 

Memory Verse of the Week ~ But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19 KJV

 

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

Safety first…in life and in the kitchen. We can’t live on bread alone, but be careful that your food is cooked safely. The driving force of this topic was when I opened the microwave yesterday…and found food spilled and not cleaned up. Not a safe situation. Clean is safe.

 

Microwaves ovens work by heating the water molecules in food. Those microwaves created to cook the food can come zapping out if there is food on the door. So, clean up your microwave. Websites I searched assure us that the microwave is generally safe, but we should NOT stand in front of it when it is running. OK, then it should not be located over my stove where I am also standing cooking food at the same time that I’m zapping something in the microwave oven. Healthline.com reassures us that this method of cooking is safe as long as the oven door closes securely; the food is cooked or reheated in proper glass containers, not plastic; and that the food is heated to 165 degrees Fahrenheit for two minutes. Food should not be undercooked or overcooked. Undercooking can be a breeding ground for food poisoning which can be deadly—and not a pleasant way to go. Additionally, overcooking, especially in heating water can create a dangerous situation where the water is actually explosive, causing serious burns. Be safe.
