“No
sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves
to the Baals” (Judges 8:33). “John was a lamp that burned and gave
light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light” (John 5:35) – “For a
time”, but note their response to Jesus -”I have come in My Father’s
name, and you do not accept Me” (John 5:43). “The Lord detests those
whose hearts are perverse, but He delights in those whose ways are
blameless” (Proverbs 11:20). How important it is not to settle for a
superficial religion, which can be easily overthrown when Satan comes in
with an unbelieving alternative which does not honour the Lord Jesus
Christ. True faith honours Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
