And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. … You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Your love is steadfast to those who love You and keep Your commandments. Let nothing come between You and me, nothing that takes the focus of my worship off You and on to anything else. Help me, guide me, convict me, quicken my conscience if I begin to stray from steadfast worship of You and You alone.
