This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who follow the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing.
Dear Holy Father,
Our pride reduces us to ruin. Our love for idols, is a pride that self-exalts causing our ears to become dull to Your instruction. May we turn from following the dictates of our hearts, as not to be cast into a land we do not know. You told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or they would surely die. But Your gracious goodness said of all the other trees we may freely feast. Its puzzling Lord "the "why". Why we desire the things that lead us to our own demise, pain and heartache. The way we indulge on food that lacks nutrition, intimacy with another person's spouse, a drug to forget the pain, the fashion trend that covers insecurity, or the prestigious positions that strokes the small ego. This all leads to destruction, failing health, broken marriages, hangovers, emptiness, and isolation, truly not Your loving desire for us. Father, I pray for those who today have awoke to find themselves in a foreign land, desolate and far from You, may they cry out to You and You hear them. Cleansing us with Your precious blood. Smash the idols, and free the captives as only You can do. Holy Spirit draw those who are bound by religion. The preforming of daily rituals, but all the while never personally knowing You. May they hear Your words, repent and believe in the risen One, Jesus Christ the Messiah, Emanuel God with us, the Only Son of God. Jesus be glorified in and through our lives today. Exposing to each of us the hidden idols that are keeping us from hearing Your loving voice, Your words of instruction guiding us the way we should go. May we daily walk with You Jesus. Thank You for taking us by the hand. Amen.
Jeremiah 16:12 and Genesis 2:16-18
