KEEP GOD ON YOUR MIND
Many of us believe that we are busy people even if our busyness is in doing nothing. Some spend a lot of time working at their jobs, while others enjoy political, recreational and cultural activities; thus, they neglect the most important aspect of their life, and that is having a meaningful relationship with God.
All of these activities that we may deem profitable and productive may not be pleasing to God because it engages us in idolatry and provokes Him to jealousy. God’s first commandment to Israel which is found in Exodus 20:5 states, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” and lest they forget, he repeatedly told them He was jealous (Exodus 34:14; Deuteronomy 5:9; 6:15; Nahum 1:2).
From the beginning of time, God sought to have a connection with Mankind. He expected men to pledge his allegiance to Him and love Him as his creator; however, as seen in Genesis 3, Adam forsook the instructions of God and followed the suggestion of a serpent. Throughout the scriptures, He wooed men, showed him His loving kindness and mercy, and sent His son to earth to ransom fallen man and restore him to his rightful place of dominion. He did all of this for a relationship. He did all that He did for a man, so that the man would keep Him on his mind.
Ultimately each one of us will make the decision whether we will have a relationship with God or not. Oh, that we would come to know and understand the privilege and opportunity of a relationship with our Father. Oh that we would not replicate the actions of Israel as stated in Jeremiah 2: 13 “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” Oh, that we would desire to be filled with Him. Oh, that we would realize God is the answer to everything that we could need for as He told Moses in Exodus 3:14, “I AM THAT I AM.” Moreover, oh that we would understand that there are consequences when we fail to have a positive relationship with God (Deuteronomy 32:16-21).
I pray my words today will prompt you to examine your relationship with Him and question, “Is He on my mind,” and I conclude this blog with the words of this song, “Always remember Jesus, Jesus. Always remember Jesus, Jesus. Always keep Him on your mind.”

Excellent web site you have got here.. It’s difficult to find good quality
writing like yours these days. I really appreciate people like you!

Great delivery. Solid arguments. Keep up the great spirit.
You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation but
I find this topic to be really something which I feel I’d
by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very large
for me. I am taking a look ahead for your subsequent submit, I will attempt
to get the hang of it!
This website truly has all the info I needed about this subject and didn’t
know who to ask.
You need to be a part of a contest for one of the finest websites on the internet.
I will recommend this site!

Thanks for the post. I will definitely return.
I do consider all of the ideas you’ve offered for your post.
They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the
posts are very brief for beginners. Could you
please lengthen them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
Outstanding story there. What happened after? Take care!
That is a very good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere.
Short but very precise information… Many thanks for

Thank you for this important reminder. The scriptures you used really spoke to my heart…my meditation for the week.
