You were made for ONE thing!

As we wonder through this life we must come to the realization that we were made for one thing….a relationship with God. The sooner we realize that and live our lives in accordance with that fact the better off we will be. 

Thomas Kempis said: “He who seeks anything but God alone and the salvation of his soul will find only trouble and grief.”

God tells us straight up he is a jealous God:

Exodus 20:5
5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Why is God jealous because He alone is worthy of worship and praise of His creation which includes me and you! Are you worshipping Him with all your life not just where you want to let Him in here and there!

I think it makes sense that if we desire anything but the true God we will have troubles especially when our soul in required of us in death!

To make it simple look what Jesus said:

Luke 4:8
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

So let us think today is my salvation and worship in anything else other than God? There are many things calling for our worship let us be careful not to fall for Satan’s tricks!
