DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 3 to 4:23; Ezekiel 5-6; John 1:1-18
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself. Isaiah 2:8-9
Oh what sin can do! Here the Lord speaks of great men bowing down before idols. Men of strength become weak before a dead piece of wood. How like our society. Alcohol, immorality, pleasure and possessions are idols that bind people and make them weak slaves. Are there idols in my life that weaken my relationship with the Lord Jesus? May God give us freedom from them. —Johannes Bruwer
Purge me from every sinful blot; my idols all be cast aside;
Cleanse me from every sinful thought, from all the filth of self and pride. —C. Wesley
