No Idols?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for all those who avoid worshiping idols. In Jesus name, amen.
God makes clear in the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:3-6 (ESV) there should be no other….
“’You shall have no other gods before me.’
‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.’”
Psalm 135:15-18 (ESV) tells the truth about idols.
“The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.”
Has something become more important than God? Has it become an idol? Take swift action to remove or otherwise destroy it. Ask forgiveness. Give thanks for God’s forgiveness.
