"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." (Rev. 4:11)
We who re saved, are saved unto fellowship with God (1Cor.1:9, 1John1:3); so that God and His son, Jesus can take the most important place in our lives and affairs (Col.1:18 )
Alas, the ransomed souls have been preoccupied with the affairs of this world and the ephemeral things have become the object of their most passionate pursuit; hence, peace, joy, rest of mind and other excellent virtues of salvation is evading their hearts because GOD is not given His rightful place.
Anything whatsoever, whether work/career, material things or relationship, that is taking preeminence in your life is an idol, and our God is jealous over His own (Ex. 34:14) .
If you are born again, you have the spiritual capacity to love God whole-heartedly and to make Him 'the number one' in your life; anything different from that is perversion of God's original design for His children.
The saying of Augustine, a saint of blessed memory, comes in handy "Thou hast formed us for thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee"
Drop your idols and enthrone God in your heart, ok?
