Your one and only

Listen carefully, O people of Israel: You've only got one god -- the LORD is your one and only because he IS the one and only God. ~ Deuteronomy 6:4 (ABP)

And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. ~ John 17:3 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
You are wasting your life if you look to anyone or thing other than the one and only God.
PRAYER:
LORD, you are the one and only God. But even though you are worthy of all my attention I am easily distracted by the flashy amusements and diversions offered by the world. Help me to sustain my focus on you, even while I am bombarded with false gods of various sorts. You are the one true God and you are the only one to whom I pledge allegiance. Amen.
