“GOD is GOD of gods and LORD of LORDS!”

Deuteronomy 10:12-17                (ESV)

“12 "And now, Israel, what does the LORD your GOD require of you, but to fear the LORD your GOD, to walk in all HIS ways, to love HIM, to serve the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?

14 Behold, to the LORD your GOD belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it.

15 Yet the LORD set HIS heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.

16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.

17 For the LORD your “GOD is GOD of gods and LORD of LORDS”, the great, the mighty, and the awesome GOD, WHO is not partial and takes no bribe.”

The text below was on a social media website recently, and it spoke volumes to me:

“If you never submit to GOD and HIS order then you're just a liar, deceiving yourself more than anyone else.”

Judas had 

The best Pastor 

The best leader

The best teacher

The wisest

The best friend 

And he failed.....

The problem isn’t the leadership or the church you go to.  

If your attitude doesn’t change or your character transformed. You will always be the same.  

Now, back to my comments, life in “this world” IS NOT all about we individuals, our prosperity, our positioning, nor how far ahead of our counterparts we can become!  Our lives should be dedicated to SERVING HIM and Glorifying HIM, for ALL the world to see!  Making sure we are NOT the focus of everything in our world should be the centerpiece of everything we do.  Unfortunately for some, that is not the case!  

Instead we see some athletes, entertainers, politicians, and even so-called ministers being elevated on a temporary pedestal.  All the while ALMIGHTY GOD, OUR CREATOR, is constantly relegated to a minuscule role of Servanthood, or Someone to “bail us out” when we drive ourselves into another storm.   As humans, we are created FOR HIS GLORY, NOT FOR OUR glory!!!  Isaiah 43:7 says “everyone who is called by MY name, WHOM I CREATED FOR MY GLORY, whom I formed and made."  You may want to believe that this Scripture isn’t talking about you, but there is NO DOUBT in my mind that ALMIGHTY GOD is the CREATOR, and one day ALL will agree!  

Don’t allow yourself to be thought too highly of, as we will ALL bow to HIM one day (Romans 14:11; Isaiah 24:23; Philippians 2:10,11)!  Living on our own earthly throne, no matter how small, makes it difficult to die to self (Matthew 10:38)!  Even people who currently deny HIS existence will one day admit that our “GOD is GOD of gods and LORD of LORDS”!!!
