1 Corinthians 10:21 -- On Dining with Deity or Devils

"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils."
1 Corinthians 10:21


This is similar to what we hear elsewhere in the scriptures... we can't serve two masters, or in this case, eat over at two people's houses.  It is the Lord or devils, not both.  Following God means putting him first in our lives, and we can't put anything else first... our dedication to God dictates the rest of our priorities... and I'm sure the dinner conversation is immeasurably better as well.

I think this is a good thing for us to remember, because we so often try to put more than one thing at the top, or fit something before God.  That initial prioritization solves a lot of other problems for us, if we allow it to.  Today, let's work on that, making sure we aren't trying to share the spotlight or divide our loyalty to God with anyone or anything else.  Let's eat with God. :)
