Deut. 5, 6

(Sorry. I experienced a retina detachment last Tuesday evening and had eye surgery Thursday evening. I’m recovering. So, I resume the devotionals.)

So many aspects of our relationship with God is like a marriage. In the New Testament, the Church is referred to as the Bride of Christ. God uses the marriage relationship which we understand to teach us about what He desires in our relationship to Him. He is jealous over us … He doesn’t want to share our heart with anybody or anything else. Hence, the laws concerning idolatry and faithfulness.

The next time something pulls you away from God, remember that He is jealous over you and is waiting for you to come back to Him.
