Verse of the day: “Will man become gods who are not really gods?(Jeremiah 16:20).
Idolism was one of the great and uncomfortable sins of ancient Israel, yet spiritual Israel tends to bow in the same direction, Mammoon still presents his golden calf and the temples of pride are not abandoned. The ego, in its various manifestations, struggles to put God’s children under his control and the flesh builds altars where it finds space for them; beloved children are above all the cause of many sins among believers; The Lord is saddened when He sees that we love them with excessive measure; Licked children can become as cursed for us as Absalom went to David, or they will be taken from us to leave our homes desolate. If believers want to have thorns in their pillows, they must love their loved ones in excess.
- It is said.
- In truth.
- That “these things are not gods”.
- Because the objects of our foolish love are very dubious blessings.
- The comfort they give us now is dangerous.
- And the help they can give us in times of pain is.
- In fact.
- Small.
- Why are we so vain? We feel sorry for the heathen who worship stone idols.
- But we worship a god of the flesh.
- Where is the great superiority of a god of the flesh upon a stone god?In both cases.
- The principle is the same.
- But.
- In our case.
- The offense is more serious because we have more light and sin before the light we have.
- The heathen bow before a false god.
- But they have never known the true God.
- We made two mistakes.
- We forget the living God and turn to idols.
- May the Lord cleanse us all of this horrible wickedness!.
The most beloved idol I have ever known, no matter what this idol is; Help me destroy him from your throne and worship you alone.
