Good morning!
It's Friday! It has been a long, but amazing week and I am ready to begin my weekend a little early as the kids of Unit 5 get out early today as it's Homecoming! Last year I forgot to pick Nathaniel up from school until he called me! I have three alarms and reminders set for today!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 115: Worship of created things is ridiculous compared to worship of the Creator. Are created things more valuable to you than God?
I find it interesting the description of the "gods" that were worshiped in verses 4 through 8. They are made of silver and gold - made by men - mouths, but can't speak - eyes, but can't see - ears, but can't hear - noses, but can't smell - hands, but can't touch/feel - feet, but can't walk - and can't use their throats. Just a heap or lump of metal!
Why would a person worship and adore something that can't give back or interact?
Let's see....a fairly simple box that produces images, sound, and entertainment - a TV; another simple box that can interact and be fun - Wii/X-box; a simple piece of paper that is green and has numbers and words that read, "In God We Trust" - money; and a structure built by men, with many rooms, appliances, yards, etc - house. Do we value these more than God? Have some of these things begun to steal your time away from God?
This world offers much that could become an "idol" for us, but we need to keep our eyes on Him and serve Him with all that we are and He has created us to be.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"
Have a great day!
Love y'all!
