The
true and living God must not be reduced to the level of man-made gods.
The challenge goes out from God’s Word: “Where then are the gods you
made for yourselves?” (Jeremiah 2:28).
There is no comparison between God and the gods - “Our God is in
heaven ... But their idols are ... made by the hands of men” (Psalm 115:3-4).
The New Testament affirms the sovereignty of God by proclaiming the
Lordship of Jesus Christ: “God exalted Him to the highest place and gave
Him the Name that is above every name ...” (Philippians 2:9-11).
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).
