No God,...But God

Good Morning!! Knowledge of God doesn't change the state of your heart, and it’s the heart that matters the most. It's in the heart where idols are created, and raised. We can touch, see, and feel them. We imagine them filling our thirsty souls. We allow them to continually lure our passion and faith away from the true Almighty God. Idols can be metal or they can be mental,...but there is a constant temptation to put trust in them rather than in God.

...Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.—Isaiah 44: 8b, 9 (NIV)
God and God only is Almighty. There is not a single idol on the face of the earth that we can fully depend on to meet our needs. They simply can't do it,...and so all of them will eventually leave our hearts empty, our expectations broken, and our dreams shattered. Even the idols that appear to be sustaining us, will ultimately crumble at the moment of death, for they are completely unable to help us beyond the grave.

Could you leave it all behind? I hope so,...because you can't take it with you.

Father God, we say that You are all we need in this life,...but, in all honesty, we don’t fully believe it. Speak to us now. Reveal the idols that we cling to. Show us what we're relying on to fulfill our needs, and enable us to choose You for fulfillment, instead. Amen.

" Contentment is not possessing everything,...but giving thanks for everything you possess."
