Ultimate Concern. That's how one theologian put it, an Ultimate Concern (Paul Tillich). We all have it. Something that we place before everything else. It's our greatest motivator and supreme goal. For some, it is money and power. For others it is personal pleasure and enjoyment. Still, others would say that their Ultimate Concern is their family or the work or their reputation.
What is your Ultimate Concern?
Without saying it, the devotional today reminds us that our God is a jealous God. Not like some jilted, jealous boyfriend, but that he does not tolerate any Ultimate Concern that usurps him. First Commandent--You shall have no other gods before me. Greatest Commandment--Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind.
God is our Ultimate Concern. Anything else, anything else, anything else is idolatry
