Ezekiel spoke of Jerusalem as being a promiscuous woman whom the Lord loved but rebuked because she had many other lovers. Whenever other gods or philosophies are preferred over Him, His jealousy is exposed.

Since the Lord has been so good to us … removing our sin and guilt by Christ’s sacrifice … how can we bring pain to Him by chasing after the “good things in life” rather than pursuing Him?

The Psalmist said, “Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I don’t think about you above all else.” [Ps. 137:6]

PRAYER: Lord, be first in my heart and mind and desires.

READ/LISTEN: Ez. 16
