TEXT: Isaiah
17:7-14
7. In
that day a man will look to his Maker, And his eyes will have respect for the
Holy One of Israel.
8. He
will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his
fingers have made,
Nor the wooden images nor
the incense altars.
9. In
that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough
And an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of
the children of Israel;
And there will be
desolation.
10.
Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of
the Rock of your stronghold,
Therefore you will plant
pleasant plants
And set out foreign
seedlings;
11. In
that day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will
make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a
heap of ruins
In the day of grief and
desperate sorrow.
12. Woe
to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise like the
roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of
nations
That make a rushing like the
rushing of mighty waters!
13. The
nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will rebuke them and
they will flee far away,
And be chased like the chaff
of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before
the whirlwind.
14.
Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he
is no more.
This is the portion of those
who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob
us.
(New
King James Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC: DIVERSION
FROM THE WAYS OF GOD
The Canaanites worshipped
Asherah poles gods made by human beings, instead of the true God, creator of
the universe. This cult encouraged illicit sexual practices which attracted
many people.
In Deuteronomy 12:3; 16:2
and 2 Kings 21:7, God frowns at the worship of Asherah poles. In our society
today, people have turned their back on God by engaging in pornography, sexual
immorality, homo-sexuality, lesbianism and so forth.
The media appears to be
promoting this form of idol worship at every given opportunity. We must beware
of this evil being perpetrated by agents of the devil to divert our attention
from God.
QUESTION: Are
you really worshipping the Almighty God?
PRAYER: I
have made up my mind not to worship any other God but You, dear Lord. Please
let this be a reality in my life, in Jesus name, Amen.
Remain
Blessed
