What’s the use of worshipping something that God created? I was reading something the other day that
spoke of how a man cut down a tree. He
cut the tree into firewood. Built a fire
with part of the wood to cook his meal and then carved an idol out of the rest
of the wood and then worshipped the idol.
Really?! He worshipped something
that he fashioned out of wood himself…but he burned the rest of it in order to
cook his meal. Why would you even want
to do something like that? It makes no
sense! The wood is an inanimate object that has no ability to love you, care
for you…or do anything for you except apparently burn to cook a meal. Isaiah
44:6-23
That’s how it is with anything that is worshipped other than God Almighty, Himself! We’re simply wasting our time by doing it…and we’re certainly not helping ourselves at all. In fact, we would be hurting ourselves…further separating ourselves from God. God Almighty is the amazing Creator of all things. John 1:1-4 The sun, moon, stars, nature / environment, science...people, angels, etc are all things that were made by God. He has made everything but all things are not worthy of our worship. They are only created beings like you and I…not God Almighty who is the creator of all things.
So…what’s sitting on the throne of your heart? What's first in your life…your wife, husband, children, job, car, home, bank account, hobby, yourself? Anything that you place before God takes the place of God until you realize what you’ve done and make a conscious effort to replace it with God. These other things are things that were created by the Creator. Nothing…NOTHING…can replace God.
Search your heart. Is God on your throne…or is something else? Don’t be like the man who burnt part of the wood for fuel and carved the rest into an idol for worship. It will do you no good. Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 Choose Him…He wants to be first in your life.
