They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves, and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts, and they worshiped Baal. They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.”
2 Kings 17:16-17 NIV
Ya think?
Religious, spiritual or a liquor bottle, we all choose an object of undying affection and pay homage to it as if it were the savior of our desperate lives.
Though we all know that Jesus Christ is among our options, the enemy feeds us lies and reasons to choose otherwise and like sheep, we follow him to the slaughter of our souls.
The trap is not inescapable.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
Darkness prevails in the absence of light.
You need light in your life.
Real light.
The kind that pierces the darkness of this world. That’s what’s missing. The light of Jesus’ love illuminates a path of forgiveness and new life.
No slaughter.
Know Jesus.
I am the light of the world.
John 8:12
