Idols cause idle worship!...What a waste!

115:08 Psalm "And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them." (NLT)

We know that idols have no power as they are created by people. As a result, those who worship them are really doing ‘idle worship’ (i.e. having no real value). They can go through the motions. They can think that they are doing something but the ‘god’ that they worship was a creation of man… not of God. So, it has no real lasting value. It cannot save the soul. Time spent in idol worship does not help a person to have a home in heaven. You can’t get to heaven based on man’s rules… we only get to heaven using God’s rules… and He sent Jesus to provide the way for us. Help others to reject the idols and to accept the free-gift from God. They will be eternally grateful that you did!!

Now you can pass along this verse to friends and family. Ask them if they know anyone that believes in idols. Ask them if they have ever discussed that topic with those people. Let them know that we want them to understand that we care about them. We want them to know the love and joy that we have in Jesus. We want them to have what we know to be true. Let them know how much you care. Always Take Time For God’s Word© daily and as you see any idols, then recall this verse as “115:08” and pray for those being deceived by idols. We are called to share the Good News. We aren’t judging others as much as we are caring for them and for where they will spend eternity. Our task is to tell others about the love of Jesus. It is their decision to hear the message and to make a decision about what they have heard. Just share the message. Share His love. God will help them along in the process. Trust in God. That is all that we need to do.

Please continue your prayers for all of the groups and organizations like Exodus World Services (Park Ridge, IL) that help refugees from around the world to be helped in the immigration and settlement process. It can take years for a family to get through the process. It takes LOTS of patience and LOTS of prayers. Help them if you can. Be welcoming to those who are granted the opportunity to resettle here. Show His love to them. Be that blessing. Pass it on to all who are far from God…be near to them!
