The Real Reason God Hates Idols (Exodus 20:3)

Today’s Bible Verse:
"You shall have no other gods before me." — Exodus 20:3

Exodus 20:3 delivers the first commandment—a call to wholehearted devotion to God. In a culture filled with distractions and competing priorities, this verse challenges us to examine where our ultimate loyalty lies. God desires to be first in our hearts, not one option among many, but the center of our worship and trust.
