We all know what a top 10 list is, its a list of the top 10 things that we enjoy the most, usually compiled with hobbies, people, sports, etc. We all have a top ten list whether we have written a list or not. Our true top list is filled with those things we love and invest a lot of our energy, time and attention in. They are filled with our relationships, our pursuits of happiness, they are filled with our favorite celebrities and sports heroes they are usually filled with everything…


but God

I have a question for you, Is God in your top 10?

Now I know many people are right now saying oh yes Jesus is #1, He is numero uno on my list, really? we love to loosely say things without first examining the heart. we can say He is but do our lifestyles match? Think about this past week, how much time did you spend in prayer, in reading the Bible or in spiritual development compared to the time spent with your boyfriend/girlfriends, your facebook accounts, your hobbies, or spent being entertained by your American Idol's? Calculate the times and compare the two. From your calculations you will see who and what is really on your top 10 list.

God clearly states that there should not be any other god's before Him. NONE... not one. What’s sad is we have many. Many of us have so many god's before God that it is not even funny. We may say we don’t but really we do. Our god may not be Allah, Buddha, or any of the other religions god's but our god's are everywhere and evident. For many of us our god’s are celebrities, athletes, pastors and bishops. For many of us our god’s are our jobs, our careers and our dreams. What ever you spend the most time doing can become your god. What ever you invest the most attention and energy in can become your god. When we get overly consumed with these things they become our god's. when our hearts are so consumed with these things they become our god's.

Right now take a deep breath....

Take another one...

Isn’t God faithful...

Ok now feel your heart beat…

Feel it again…

Isn’t God faithful...

Now tell me what other god can do that? which one of YOUR god's can do that? Can Jay-Z do it, can Kobe or Lebron do it, can your career, your dreams, your boyfriend/girlfriends do it, can Beyonce, Taylor swift or Oprah do it?

NOOOOOOOOO they cant! Then why do we put these people and things above the ONLY One that can............???

Once your natural heart stops beating your spiritual heart will immediately be judged. Whatever lies with in your heart will be immediately questioned by God. If you were to die right now what will be on the top 10 list of your heart? If you were to die and God was to look at your heart; would He be anywhere on it? ETERNITY IS NOTHING TO PLAY WITH! At Any moment you can be snatched from TIME and thrown into Eternity without an opportunity to get things right or to readjust your top 10 list…


Think about it hard toady and ask yourself Is Jesus on your top 10 or is He somewhere in top 25?
