We Are To Worship Only The Lord Our God

 There is nothing more obnoxious to the Lord than the worship of graven images and idolatry surrounding false gods.
 We are to consider the our earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, ALL of which, Paul reminds us, amount to idolatry. We Are To Worship Only The Lord Our God in spirit and in truth.  Our Heavenly Father seeks worshippers who live by faith, walk in spirit, trust His Word, and worship only Him.
 We are to remember that God will never share His glory with another and no holy angel nor angelic messenger of the Lord, has ever accepted worship from men, as we are reminded by John in his Revelation of Jesus Christ, He is the incarnate God Who alone is worthy of all worship and praise and honor and glory.
 Before being born again, most, if not all believers engaged in some form of idolatry, either the elevation of self or the veneration of some other little created deity. Let us avoid any form of idolatry and every idolatrous behavior and let us keep our eyes fixed on the true and living God, Jesus Christ, our God and Savior in Whom are the words of eternal life.
Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we realize, more and more, how despicable and obnoxious is the practice of idolatry, when someone or something is seated on the throne of our lives instead of Jesus Christ, the true and living God. Keep us from any form of idolatry. Protect us from the wiles of the devil, and help us to keep the eyes of our heart on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Knowing that we died with Christ and have been raised up in Him into newness of life, we pray that we may be kept in the place of death and that we will not be lured into giving honor to anything, except my God and Savior, Jesus Christ, in Whose name we Pray, AMEN.
