All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of the life of the Lamb who has been slain. Revelation 13:8


Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Job 13:15


For from him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36

He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32

Yahweh and the Kings Part 3

Yahweh demands exclusive worship.  As the only God there is, the Lord demands exclusive worship.  He will not take his place alongside the gods, nor is he willing to be displaced by them.  He refuses to be confused with any part of the created order.  He alone will be worshiped, by Israelite and the foreigner alike (1 Kings 8:41-43, 60; 2 Kings 5:15-18; 17:24-41).

This is a daily pursuit and a lifelong pursuit.  We should ask God to give us the desire to pursue Him even after we fail Him each day.  He can make Himself an insatiable desire in your heart and mine, and we ought to long for that as that is what exclusive worship means.
