Hypocrisy
When someone cheats on you it leaves a painful feeling that tugs at your heart and causes a thousand deaths that come only minutes apart.
We have seen it in all stages of life. In high school a boy and a girl pledge to go steady together, but one breaks the pledge and entertains another. In college a couple pledges loyalties to each other, but the relationship ends in tears when one breaches their promise. In marriage a couple pledge fidelity until death do them part, but one breaks the vow and secretly begins a relationship with another. When that happens the person who is left behind feels a striking pain in his/her heart that is worse than death.
Tears result.
Sleepless nights result.
Trust dissolves and the relationship shatter in the wake of the mates cheating heart.
We don't like the way cheating makes us feel, so we should understand how God feels when those he loves cheat on him. We flirt with other gods and give other gods a portion of our time, talents and resources.
We should resolve to be faithful to God in every respect of our lives.
