(KJV.) EXODUS 34:14
(14) For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
BE FAITHFUL TO HIM!
Grace be unto you!
Indeed, God is a jealous God! Therefore, in your daily endeavors, acknowledge him first in the morning as your maker, provider, and protector through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
He created the universe and entire contents; cf. Psalm 24:1, yet it is humanity, who enjoy these things, take a look at the heavens, filled with the hope of his existence, the sun which gives light to the darkness, Genesis 1:3, shines to generates plants for food, its rays provides good energy to humans, the moon, which shines at nighttime as light in the darkness, the stars to beautify the firmament of his glory, the livestock vegetations, flying, swimming species, the waters above and upon the earth; how thoughtful are his goodness and mercies towards humanity, to have provided these things to sustain life upon earth; therefore, love him wholeheartedly, praise and worship no other god, other than him.
Justifiably, the LORD's heart desires the human worship and appreciation for his goodness and mercies that endure forever; therefore, if you acknowledge him as your Father, appreciate him by glorifying, giving thanks to him on a daily basis, draw your heart closer to him, he will move closer to you likewise, cf. James 4:8; King David, the Psalmist wrote, cf. Psalm 116:12-14; "What shall I render unto the LORD, for all his benefits towards me?" then he answered, saying, "I will take the cup of salvation, call upon the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to him, now in the presence of all his people; therefore, if the LORD is your benefactor, be faithful to him, worship, praise and give thanks to him, in the beauty of his holiness.
The point is, what can you do to express your gratitude unto him, for what he has done for you? Can you pay him back for his goodness and mercies towards you? I don't think he requires your money, he created cash but does not have any use for it in heaven; here are a few thoughts on what you can do to express your appreciation for his benefits towards you; *Always give thanks to the LORD, worship and sing praises to his Holy Name, cf. Psalm 92:1; *instead of choosing your pleasures over him, put him first, go to church on the day of worship, reverence him, before attending the ball game or parking yourself on the couch, in front of the Television, waiting for the game activities to commence, instead be encouraged to perceive life through the lenses of the righteousness of Christ Jesus; go to church, worship him first, then other activities after, for his endless goodness and mercies are with you.
Beloved, it is justifiable for the LORD to be Jealous, for he is the one working for his children, not the other way round, the only way he gets our full attention is when we are in predicaments, and cry out to him for deliverance, healings, victories, etc.; when all is well with us again, we seldom recognize his existence; many times, our heart desires, are roadblocks to his heart, for instance, if you want something so severely, that you spent time with it, worrying, focusing your attention on how to acquire more of it, this thing, has become the god of your life, you desire to worship, serve to attain more of its blessings, not considering God, you have placed him, in the second position of your life.
Therefore, my dear reader, let God, the Father be your number heart desire and seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness, and; all these things shall be added unto you: cf. Matthew 6:33; God is jealous of your focusing on the mini-gods, therefore, turn your desires around to only him, love, praise, worship, and adore him. His blessings are yours forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Rev. 3:13. Peace and Love be unto you!
