In my Bible study this week I was reminded of the foolishness of Amaziah, king of Judah in II Chronicles 25. He has defeated Edom in battle and then he brings their gods home and worships them!! Really?!?!?! The gods couldn't save the Edomites from Amaziah, why would he want to worship something less powerful than himself and definitely less powerful than his God? God sends a prophet to rebuke him but in his arrogance he threatens the prophet.
Think about it, my Christian friend. We serve a living God. A RISEN Savior! Maybe you are not tempted to bow down to a statue; but, do you place your trust in your bank account, or job, or status in the community? We have no need to place our trust in the things of this world. God is more than all of this. We have the assurance from the Most High that we are His children; and as such, are assured of heaven!
