A
reminder for today
In
this way, Jehu destroyed every trace of Baal worship from Israel. (2 Kings
10:28)
The Lord anointed Jehu as the new king of Israel and he
set out to destroy the descendants of King Ahab and also Jezebel. After that he
called all the baal worshippers together and destroyed all of them.
We can so easily slip into idolatry especially when it
comes to possessions. People like to be admired for what they own or how they
look so we buy expensive clothes and expensive cars so that we can impress the
outside world. Unfortunately we cannot buy a ticket to heaven and so all our
possessions will not help us to get a better seat when the end is here. So many
will be ignorant in this regard and that is why they say that the cross is
foolishness to those that are perishing. With lots of possessions people are
blinded and they do not see the grace of God and their hearts are lost to the
kingdom. Many times these will be church going people but they are so misguided
by self-idolizing that they miss the true kingdom of God and a real
relationship with Jesus. They become plastic people or rather picture people. The
picture looks great but the inside is corrupted.
My dear friend, we must be so careful not to slip into
idolizing or self-idolizing. It is important that we destroy the idols in our
lives so that we can focus our hearts completely on Jesus and our goal to spend
eternity with Him in heaven. Life is way too short to spend all your time to
impress people with possessions when we can use all that energy and spend it
with Jesus. My challenge remains and that is to live like Jesus did. Every day
remains a challenge but walking with Him will bring us closer to our goal. Come
with me today as we remove any and all idols from our lives and replace them
with Jesus so that we can live a life dedicated to Him.
Jesus
told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the
Father except through me”. (John 14:6)
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
