Today's Scripture *January 8, 2010*
Leviticus 26: 1
“Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the Lord your God.
The twenty sixth chapter of Leviticus presents the two paths of obedience and disobedience that God set before the people. The people of the Old Testament were warned over and over again against worshiping idols. We wonder how they could deceive themselves with these objects of wood and stone. Yet God could very well give us the same warning today, for we are prone to put idols before Him as well. Idolatry is making anything more important than God, and our lives are full of that temptation. Money, looks, success, reputation, security--these are some of today's idols. As you look at these false gods that promise everything you want but nothing you need, does idolatry seem so far removed from your experience?
Father God, we want to worship only You!
We want our lives to be centered around You!
Guide us Lord. Show us any areas in our lives that we are putting ahead of You.
Reveal to us any "false gods" or "idols" we have in our lives.
Forgive us Lord for our weakness and failure to put You first in our lives, and in our hearts.
May we daily be reminded of our need to place You above all else and all others.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Blessings!
Have a great weekend!
