Priorities: God or Man?

2 Chronicles 16:7 You have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God...

2 Chronicles 16:12 Yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians.


  John 12:42-43:  Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

Galatians 1:10  For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

A bondservant is one who gives himself up to another’s will, those whose service is used by Christ in extending and advancing his cause among men.



Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

2 Corinthians 13:5  Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?

I have nothing to add.  Let the Word speak.  Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, soul, mind and strength.  Have NO other gods before Him.  He is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek Him.  Do I?  Do you?
