Our God is a jealous God who will not accept arrogance in place of obedience. ~ Jo Helen Cox
God is jealous?
The Bible tells me so
but that it's not over things,
over affection, over talents...
why would he be jealous
over his creation?
No, God is jealous
when his creations
give loyalty, love, allegiance
to some other being, someone
something made greater than God.
I'm not going to adopt an idol,
another competitive (in my mind) being,
but jealous when we believe
we've got it covered, don't need him.
God is or is not supreme in our lives.
