After reading Ezekiel 14:4, I finally came to terms with something many people struggle to accept: our God is a jealous God. But pause for a moment—who wouldn’t be jealous when they are remembered only in times of trouble? Who wouldn’t react when love is treated like an emergency service instead of a relationship? God is good—the God of all power, the Creator who formed something out of nothing, the One whose words do not return empty, the God who calls things into existence and gave life to His Word through His Son, Jesus Christ. With all His glory, wisdom, and authority, people still turn to created things and crown them as gods, bowing to works of His own hands. Then, when those choices backfire, they suddenly remember Him. How exactly do you expect Him to respond—with a casual pat on the back? Scripture is clear: God cannot be mocked.
Now bring this truth down to friendship. You reading this—how does it feel when you discover that people only value what you can offer and not who you are? It hurts. Deeply. And many times, you walk away from such relationships. If we understand this emotion as humans, how much more a holy God who sees the heart? God will teach, correct, and respond in His own way, because no one outsmarts Him and no one deceives Him. Especially when the eyes are wide open—when you know what you are doing is wrong and still choose it. Nothing is done unconsciously. Choices are deliberate, planned, and intentional. Be warned.
