Idolatry has always been the downfall of my people. I make no secrets about being a jealous God. The current idols are more subtle than the ancient ones because the todays idols (false gods) are often outside the field of religion. People, possessions, status and self-aggrandizement are some of the most poplar deities today. Beware of bowing down before these things. False gods never satisfy; instead, they stir up lust for more and more.
When you seek me instead of the world’s idols you experience my joy and peace. These intangibles slake the thirst of your soul, providing deep satisfaction. The glitter of the world is tiny and temporal. The light of my presence is brilliant and everlasting. Walk in the light with me. Thus you become a beacon through whom others are drawn to me.
Signed
God
