Maranatha,
Isaiah 10: 11 – Shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?
Peace be with you and blessings be upon you, in the matchless name of Christ our King, How blessed we are to welcome you to the Praise House. We have been divinely ordained to gather in His name and call upon him. We delight in the presence of the Lord and enjoy worship and fellowship together.
The text of this commentary encourages, informs, and promises God’s people that He doesn’t ignore sin regardless who is responsible. Although Israel was a chosen people He promised them that their idolatry would not be ignored or winked at because He had selected them to show His glory.
Deuteronomy 7:7 says The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
We must be aware that we don’t slip into believing that we have earned the grace of God, or merited the favor of God. It wasn’t because we were so capable that He has chosen us but it was because of our realization tat we had need for Him that we have submitted and been accepted as sons and daughters. Failure to acknowledge Him as our source leads to idolatry. We begin to appreciate the creation over the creator, recognize the gift but ignore the giver. Be careful always to Worship Him for who He is and who He is making you to be. God has selected you to show His glory don’t be overtaken by the glow and loose the purpose.
DON’T TOUCH THAT BRAKE!
