Morning Prayer 

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Inspiration 

Moses reminds the nation Israel here in Deuteronomy, just before they entered the promised land, of the 10 Commandments they received from God when they stood before Mount Sinai. The first of those commandments was that He, the only true God and the God who saved them out of slavery in Egypt, must be the only God they worship.

Prayer 

You, Lord, are our God and our Savior. You brought us up out of slavery to sin in the world. You alone must be first in our hearts. We cannot serve you and money. We cannot serve you and worldly pleasures. We cannot make another god stand beside you and be true worshippers of you. Help us to dedicate ourselves fully to you, Lord, that we be not double-minded or double-hearted. Amen.
