Without God, Who Are You?

Psalm 16:4
4 The sorrows of those will increase
   who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
   or take up their names on my lips.

Are you running after anything other than God? David not only asked for God's protection from death in this psalm but he pointed out that he would not worship anyone but God. He accentuated that those who not only run after but trust other gods more than him would find hardship. the little god in this case were those that required pouring libations and chatting their name. Is there a little god that has made more room in your heart than our heavenly father? Are you finding more sorrow than gladness because your focus is not in the right place? In the Ten Commandments, the first one is that we are to have no other god's before Him. Jesus put the same commandment in another way by saying that we are to love the Lord our God with all heart. Who and what are you consulting for answers to life's questions? Is it our Lord? Or is it in the vices that now exist in the land?  Is the focus on obtaining other things? What about obtaining a closer relationship with God?

Psalm 16:2
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
   apart from you I have no good thing.”

Without God who are you and what do you have?
