Hey Idols, Get A Life!

[S] Jeremiah 10:5-6 --
5 "Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,
And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot walk!
Do not fear them,
For they can do no harm,
Nor can they do any good."
6 There is none like You, O Lord;
You are great, and great is Your name in might.

[O] This passage is almost funny that God is mocking the idols people have created.  And taking a second look through it's not only funny but quite true.  When is the last time we heard the idols we made did miracles, or let alone walking around to minister to people?  There certainly is no one like God of Heaven and earth and nothing compares to You O God.

[A] I never heard of money, one of the top idols in our society, saving people or comforting people.  I am not talking about how the money is used by Godly people for His purposes but I am talking about the money itself being self-initiating a good cause (or a bad cause as a matter of fact).  However, I treat it as though it is capable of doing that and I need to recalibrate my mind to know that money is just something we agreed to put values and that means we can also decide to devalue it appropriately.

[P] Dear Jesus, running through this life's course I can very easily lose focus of what is from and of You vs. what is from man-made sources.  Let Your Spirit live and guide me each moment so I would keep my eyes on You and to live out a life that is valuable to You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen
