All other gods; they are the works of men. You are the only God, there is none like you.
This chorus reminds me of how God is Supreme over every invention, orchestration or innovation. We sometimes assume that gods are restricted to carved images or some symbol. This is not true at all. Every imagination, thought, opinion, effort, intervention both physical or abstract that exalts itself above God in our lives has become a god unto us.
I used to compartmentalise my life - academic life, emotional life, spiritual life, financial life, family life etc. This resorted in conflicts such as "I don't want my spiritual life to affect my academic life and so on". This separated God from most aspects of my life because I restricted him to my spiritual life and called him intervene in the other aspects as my last option. I had to tune God to the standards of my life to resolve these conflicts instead of tuning my life to the standard of God which is the right thing to do. Everything else was important except God. This was wrong for me to do and the sooner I realised it, the better it was for me. I had made compartmentalisation and its principles my god.
In this life we are blessed to live; let's live it serving the one God, the Lord Almighty.
