Living in Christ and Christ living in me is an eternal promise, yet has a relevant meaning for each and everyday. Today’s focus is that I can have no other gods before me. Of course, any addiction one struggles with falls into this “gods” category. As I was looking out of the window where I have my devotions I can easily see all of the flowers in bloom and this brings much peace to my soul. I love gardening for the beauty it provides and I can easily take pride in my yard. Do I idolized it? I jokingly say I do, but in reality I thank God for the chance to be a gardener hoping He will give me gardening duty in heaven!

Reflecting on the topic of gods before me is something that becomes very apparent when living in Christ. Darkness is very visible in the Light of Christ and cannot remain in His Light. I don’t want any idols in my life so I’m asking Jesus to let me see what He wants me to so that He and I can tend to them.
