FAITH CAPSULE: Without any doubt, the antidote for jealousy is attention.

Exodus 3, Colossians 3:1:17

The introduction to all states, “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.” (Exodus 20:5)
Know that God is jealous God.
“Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins.” (Joshua 24:19)
that He wants nothing but for all to be free and serve Him.
What does it mean to serve God? 
To serve God demands all seek Him diligently and set their mind on things where God is above.
The book of Colossians 3:1-2 clearly states, “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
God is a jealous God.
Without any doubt, the antidote for jealousy is attention.
Giving attention to God is seeking God diligently.
God is the creator of all.
God is not a slave master but a saving God.
Why not put all aside, seeking God in His way, living for Him to find Him, the character of one that seeks Him diligently?
Seeking God will come with the challenges of this world.
Among the reasons for not seeking God diligently are:
-One that is yet to be dead in their trespasses will not rise to serve God.
-Inability to put off the body of the sins of the flesh.
-Setting the mind on worldly things more than things above will not serve God diligently.
There is no excuse to take the mind off the things of God, to avoid missing the presence of God.
Are you willing to serve God indeed and in truth?
Have you separated yourself from worldly things you once walked with as a way of life? 
The word requires all to put to death members on the earth, such as fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 
The members on earth will bring the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. (Colossians 3:6-7)
Give regard to God constantly.
God is a caring God and does have a mind for all.
The jealousy of God is evidence of His caring for His creation.
David questioned before God, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” (Psalm 8:4)
The word also points directly for all to put off: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of our mouth, do not lie to one another. (Colossians 3:8-10)
Be renewed in knowledge according to the word of God. 
Serve God diligently to find Him and experience the power of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to serve in seeking Him to find Him.
