Today's readings are Psalm 119:9-16, Deuteronomy 4:1-20, and Matthew 7:13-29.
Today in Deuteronomy 4:15-20 we see a stern warning against worship of idols. It's easy for most of us to say that we don't engage in idolatry. But I question whether we are being entirely truthful with ourselves. This passage points to our trusting in what God has created rather than trusting in the God who created it all. In the final analysis we do trust in the creation rather than in the creator. We look to our culture, our economy, our jobs, our families, our physical well-being rather than the God who created all those things. We are easily deceived.
May the Lord keep us from idols.
