God.. MY god?

Psalm 86:8-13

8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.

9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.

10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.

11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.

12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.

13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.



I've been meditating on this passage and I simply can't get over the phrase "Lord my God"

Have you ever had a mindset of thinking or devoting yourself to your relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend, a friendship, your car, your video games, your job, money, food, success, perfection, music....

Did you know that's an IDOL?

Today when you read the '10 commandments'.. that one seems like one you can check off a list because you think 'oh I don't worship a golden calf or anything like that..' but it's more about what you're actually making your 'god'.. what you're spending your time and energy captivating yourself with.


So when David uses the words "Lord, my GOD"... He's saying "Lord, you're the One I choose to worship first and foremost in my life. You're the One I'm setting all my attention, focus and sole devotion on. You're not only my Lord, You're my God."


Is God your 'God', too?
