O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord. For you have rejected your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots. Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made. So man is humbled, and each one is brought low— do not forgive them! Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of the Lord, and from the splendor of his majesty. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. (Isaiah 2:5-11 ESV)
Let us walk in the light of the Lord!
Take a look around your home. What is central to your life according to the contents of your house?
How many things have you purchased that we’re suppose to make your life easy, or wonderful, or perfect? We see ad and want the things we see our friends, co workers, and people walking on the street have. We think these things will make our lives great, so we spend our money on them, but what do they actually do?
The take up space in our lives and the place of something more important?
What did you see around your house? What is central? The TV? The Internet? The kids? The dog? The cat? From where I am sitting typing this I can see 2 pictures of Jesus and a picture of my wife and youngest daughter from Ash Wednesday worship 2012 (they have ash crosses on their heads).
I’m not any better than anyone else though please don’t think I mean that. Because I can also see for. Where I am sitting our computer, tv, wii, stereo, BluRay player, DVD player, 2 printers… You see we have idols from the east and things that can take the place of God.
So walk in the light of the Lord and allow Him to have control, so the idols can’t take control.
