SCRIPTURE:
They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.
II Kings 17:33 NKJV
OBSERVATION:
They feared the Lord yet served their own gods. That’s probably a very accurate description of the church today. There is a knowledge and a practice of serving the Lord, but in other ways the gods of this culture are also served: The flesh, Success, Comfort, Greed, etc.
APPLICATION:
It’s not sufficient to add God to my list of gods. He must be the one and only. What are the gods of this age and this culture? Have I allowed myself to also serve those gods?
PRAYER:
Almighty God, reveal areas in my life where I am trusting in anyone or anything other than You. Amen.
