Day 217: Is 37:38 - 41:28

This passage is a very powerful one. We see here the prophet speaking out against other nations and their false gods. There are alot of people these days who think that our society has moved away from idols and false gods, but the truth is, we've just turned them into something more abundant and complex than anything people could have imagined in Bible times. How foolish is it of us to commit our lives and attention to something that relies on us to even exist. How could we possibly put our hope in something that needs us to survive. Whether it's a celebrity, money, power, or some sort of physical item, we will never find love and happiness devoting our lives to those things. Jehovah is the only One who is worthy of our praise. He not only created us, but He also created everything that we could possibly ever use to make our own "creations." He formed the earth and he hung the sun and the moon in the sky. He is the reason that everything exists and He is the only One worthy of our praise.

- Father, help me to never allow my praise to be applied to something or someone else. You are the only One worthy of praise and I vow to offer that praise to You as long as there is breath in my lungs. -
