There’s only one LORD who is my Shepherd today and every day. That is a decision I have made and a decision I believe you must make the same decision today.

There’s only one LORD who is my Shepherd today and every day. That is a decision I have made and a decision I believe you must make the same decision today.
There is no other LORD. There’s no other lord like THE LORD. There may be many Lords in many places, but only one LORD in time and eternity!
You cannot look at any other LORD that you can point out as my Shepherd. It’s not like there’s some other lord that’s like this LORD. No other lord matches Him. There are other lords who claim to be equal to Him or that you make lord over you, but you cannot point to another lord and say he or she is my LORD and speak the truth. That is a false appointment. When we do that we am creating another LORD, an idol, a false leader who meets false needs and makes us successful only to lead us into eternal emptiness. That lord will fail, and your—our—commitment will fail. There is only one who can be THE LORD, and we must turn to Him and Him alone.
When Jesus called Peter Satan He wasn’t merely saying words. He was making a serious statement. He was saying that Peter was blinded by Satan and missing our LORD’s true identity. If Peter could be blinded by Satan in a moment of darkness, couldn’t we or some we serve?
So how are you doing with this false claim if you have done this? Are you giving yourself to some false LORD? Why are you doing this? Does this false LORD claim to give you some form of success, some wealth, some position of power? When that happens, and that does happen, sooner or later you will have emptiness and futility and failure and shame. Do you recognize this and turn from it to THE true LORD? Or hide it and act is if it’s not there? Know what you have done before it’s too late.
What about today? Who is your LORD today?
Is THE LORD your LORD today?
