Day 271. Why are you tempted to worship other things instead of God?

Today is day 271 and we are studying The First Commandment.

271. Why are you tempted to worship other things instead of God?

I am tempted because my sinful heart seeks my own desires above all else and pursues those things which falsely promise to fulfill them. (Deuteronomy 29:16–19; Psalm 10:2–7; Acts 19:23–27; James 4:1–10)

We will conclude today by praying Prayer 94. For a Virtuous Heart found on page 674 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
