TOPIC: WORSHIP THE ONLY TRUE GOD

READ: JEREMIAH 10:1-16 (NKJV)1. Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.2. Thus says the LORD: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.3. For the customs of the peoples [are] futile; For [one] cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.4. They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple.5. They [are] upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go [by themselves.] Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good.”6. Inasmuch as [there is] none like You, O LORD (You [are] great, and Your name [is] great in might),7. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise [men] of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, [There is] none like You.8. But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol [is] a worthless doctrine.9. Silver is beaten into plates; It is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of the craftsman And of the hands of the metalsmith; Blue and purple [are] their clothing; They [are] all the work of skillful [men.]10. But the LORD [is] the true God; He [is] the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.11. Thus you shall say to them: “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”12. He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.13. When He utters His voice, [There is] a multitude of waters in the heavens: “And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”14. Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image [is] falsehood, And [there is] no breath in them.15. They [are] futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.16. The Portion of Jacob [is] not like them, For He [is] the Maker of all [things,] And Israel [is] the tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of hosts [is] His name.

THE MESSAGE:In our text today, God warned the Israelites not to follow the ways of other nations by worshipping idols (verses 1-2), but to acknowledge Him as the true God (1 Corinthians 8:4; Exodus 20:4, 5). The Scriptures are filled with evidence of the supremacy of God over idols and the affirmation that the LORD is the true God. An idol is anything that takes or competes with the place of God in our hearts, including an object of reverence or a person of passionate admiration (e.g., a celebrity). The prophet echoed-“The Lord is the true God, He is the living God and the everlasting king” (verse 10). There is none indeed like our God. All other gods are the works of men; Jehovah is the ONLY true God. He is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, the I AM that I AM. The charge of Joshua (Joshua 24.15) to the people of Israel to choose whom to serve – either the true God or idols – still applies to us today. It is rewarding when we truly worship and serve the Lord (Psalm 37:25). Let us therefore cast away anything that represents idols in our lives.PRAYER: Lord, grant me the grace to worship You in spirit and in truth. Amen.
