Just-in-Case Idols

Bible in a Year:

• Nehemiah 4–6
• Acts 2:22–47

They have followed other gods to serve them.

Jeremiah 11:10

Sam checks his retirement account twice each day. He saved for thirty years, and with the boost of a rising stock market, finally has enough to retire. As long as stocks don’t plunge. This fear keeps Sam worrying about his balance.

Jeremiah warned about this: “You, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem” (11:13).

Judah’s idolatry is remarkable. They knew the Lord was God. How could they worship anyone else? They were hedging their bets. They needed the Lord for the afterlife, because only the true God could raise them from the dead. But what about now? Pagan gods promised health, wealth, and fertility, so why not pray to them too, just in case?

Can you see how Judah’s idolatry is also our temptation? It’s good to have talent, education, and money. But if we’re not careful, we might shift our confidence to them. We know we’ll need God when we die, and we’ll ask Him to bless us now. But we’ll also lean on these lesser gods, just in case.

Where is your trust? Back-up idols are still idols. Thank God for His many gifts, and tell Him you’re not relying on any of them. Your faith is riding entirely on Him.

By:  Mike Wittmer Reflect & Pray

What good thing are you tempted to turn into an idol? How might you use this gift while still depending fully on God?

Father, all my hope is in You. Help me trust in You alone, not in my abilities and assets.

Howdy, PRO.

How was your weekend? Kicked back or did Robin find some things she needed help with to keep you busy?

I believe that boxer George Forman’s first fights were at Camp Parks.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[PROCON]

Hey radu!

A lazy weekend, didn't do much, the weather wasn't that great and it's been drizzling off and on today too.

Hope to get together with son tomorrow for lunch.

'Sup with you and the cute kittehs?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro....any improvement in things opening?

Is Hilarywithonel doing ok?

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy!

We are still in a lockdown but most out here in red counties are ignoring the idiot governor's mandates.

Daughter is doing well, she's able to work from home with her kitty companion keeping her company.

Clouds coming in now, but beautiful sun all day.

Howdy, Kathy.

Pay week. I hope things go a little smoother than the last one.

Mighty pretty day up there again. Perfect for meals on the deck. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor...and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a productive Monday.

Crummy weather can put a damper on the weekend, no doubt.

It was dry here but too hot to do much outside Sat. so I finished getting the last of the stuff ready for the rummage sale this weekend.
Yesterday was cooler and perfect for weeding some flower beds.

Da kittehs are somewhat behaving though there was a big spat last night. No idea who started it so no one got spanked. I did a lot of yelling, though, and put the fear in all of them. It was very quiet after that. LOL
