Whom Do We Worship?

Good morning

Monday’s Morning Word… 📖

Jeremiah 10:11.

“Tell them this:
‘The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.’”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
What we choose to worship… 🤔
is very important❗️
…
Is the one we worship the true God… or…
a false god (an idol)? 😨💧
That choice shapes a person’s life❗️
Looking at it objectively… 🧐
false gods are fashioned by skilled hands from stone, wood, or bronze.
In other words… human beings made those false gods❗️
They have eyes but cannot see.
Mouths but cannot speak.
Ears but cannot hear.
Feet but cannot walk.
…
To pray to such things and make requests of them… 😰
Isn’t that strange? 🤔❓️
That’s what I think.
But…
why do people fail to notice the difference between the true God and idols?
Well…
…
In 2 Corinthians 4:4 we read:
“In their case, the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, to keep the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, from shining on them.”
…
The devil has put a veil over their eyes to keep them from believing in Jesus Christ… 😢
…
That is why…
only when the eyes of the heart are opened can a person believe in the true God❗️
…
So let us pray patiently for them (future Christians),
that the veil before their eyes may be removed 🛐
…
One day, false gods will be thrown away as worthless objects.

The Lord alone is worthy of praise forever.

Shalom 😃
