Keep away from idols
Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,
'What do you mean, ‘What's the matter?'“ Micah replied. “You've taken away all the gods I have made, and my priest, and I have nothing left!'
— Judges 18:24 NLT
Micah made idols and hired a priest to run his personal religion. When the men of Dan took his idols and priest, nothing remained. What an empty spiritual condition! An idol is anything that takes God's place in a person's life.
Some people invest all their energy in pursuing money, success, possessions, or a career. If these idols are taken away, only an empty shell is left. The only way to protect yourself against such loss is to invest your life in the living God, whom you can never lose.
Lord, help us to remember that our ultimate security and identity are found in You alone, not in possessions or idols. Teach us to place our trust fully in Your provision and guidance. May we seek Your will in all things and honor You as the true source of our strength and hope.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
Jesus loves you!
