Putting God back where he belongs

Yesterday I had a bit of a empifiany, I was walking through town and simply just watching everyone going about their daily lives and had the realisation that we have placed materialism and people where God belongs. On my visit to JB Hi-Fi I watched about 8 "nerds" geak out on ipads, eyeing them up with hungry eyes and a desire for the next piece of technology which is going to do "everything" you know just like God can...This lead me to the thought...are they going to try and make iGod? I carried on through town and watched how people in clothes and make up shops were looking so hungry for something that would complete them, that would give them the perfect look, that would make them the "hottest person in the world" you know like "number one" in the universe, where God belongs. Then I walked past some bars and watched again how some of the men looked so hungry for the women, and the women so hungry for the men, ready to throw a few hundred bucks away on drink so that he could loosen up to become someone he is not and take someone home that night...desiring intimacy is all he is after.
After I thought about this I realised that all everyone is after is GOD. Whether or not they realise it or not they desire...LOVE, and God is LOVE, he is perfect un-conditional love, he is PROVISION just like the Apple products can provide you with everything for life, God can provide you with so much more. God is SECURITY, the security that people in business seek and strive so hard to get in their job and position and their income. He can secure you so much more, in fact he has a life-long security plan in eternity!
God secures you in Him, when you put him as number one in your life and take yourself out of that spot you are loved on by him because you are His precious child and making you feel like an adored child!
And most of all God is INTIMACY - this intimacy that everyone in the world desires, a deep sence of connection with another, a desire to know the other more, a closeness. God desires us to get and be intimate with him, he wants us close to him. He wants us intimate with Him.

So at the end of the day, everyone desires God, it's whether or not we put Him where He belongs determines the outcome of a realtionship with him or a relationship with the world. A relationship with un-conditional love and real security, provision, intimacy and much more or a relationship with stuff that will give up on you...It is your choice...
