Idolatry

Isaiah 44:21, 22 - “Pay attention, O Israel, for you are my servant. I, the Lord, made you, and I will not forget to help you. I have swept away your sins like the morning mists. I have scattered your offenses like the clouds. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” [Life Application Bible]


Isaiah tells us, “Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit!” We think of idols as statues of wood or stone, but in reality, an idol is anything natural that is given a sacred value and power…

My Prayer

Oh Lord, I’m feeling so heavy for these past few days. What has happened to America? This country founded in You! What a slap it must be to You, when people of another faith is being welcomed by thousands tomorrow. I am grieving Lord, to what’s happening nowadays. People are turning away from You.


I ask for Your forgiveness, dear God. Because we had opened doors for idolatry and that is an abomination to You. I know that when we turn away our ears from hearing Your laws, even our prayers are abomination to You, Oh God [Proverbs 28:9].

Lord, please protect us from the enemies not seen. Send Your mighty angels that these enemies would be paralyzed and not be able to create havoc in all vulnerable areas of the people in this land. Lord, open the hearts and minds of those who will participate and may they tend to know that there is no other God but You. Where there are blinders, please remove them from those affected Lord. Thank You Lord for Your love and mercy. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
　
　
This is what the Lord showed me today when I was praying to Him with a heavy heart:

Theme: The lies of enemies. God is able to defend us from lies spoken against us.

Psalm 5 [Life Application Bible]

1 O Lord, hear me as I pray;
Pay attention to my groaning.
　
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
For I will never pray to anyone but you.

3 Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord,
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
You cannot tolerate the slightest sin.

5 Therefore, the proud will not be allowed to stand in your presence,
For you hate al who do evil.

6 You will destroy those who tell lies,
The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;
With deepest awe I will worship at your Temple.

8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord,
Or my enemies will conquer me.
Tell me clearly what to do,
And show me which way to turn.

9 My enemies cannot speak one truthful word,
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their speech is filled with flattery.

10 O God, declare them guilty,
Let them be caught in their own traps,
Drive them away because of their many sins,
For they rebel against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
Let them sing joyful praises forever.
Protect them,
So all who love your name may be filled with joy.

12 For you bless the godly, O Lord,
Surrounding them with your shield of love.
