Wednesday Reflection, January 12, 2022 One True God

But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. Jeremiah 10:10

In a world on uncertainty and daily struggles it is quite easy for one to get distracted and or lose sight of the things that are real and right.

In Jeremiah chapter 10 the Lord speaks through the peophet Jeremiah and instructs the people not to stray or seek or worship idols. They were to be mindful of the fact that there was only one God, Yahweh.

The people were warned to separate themselves from the people who did not know God as in aligning themselves with the gentiles they began to practice idolatry. They were to not to spend their time looking to the sky as in ancient times astrology was used to discern signs and warnings in the sky which led them to say, they saw fearful things in the signs of heaven.

Today brothers and sisters, there be so many distractions, detractors and idols. It is impetative that those who are called by God, those who believe in Him and proclaim His righteousness stand firm and be resolute in their walk of faith. As astrologers and palm readers advertise their offerings and churches increase, crime and violence and covid19 contend; the christian must know, must remember who God is.

In our New Testament text, Matthew 11:25, Jesus said, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants.’

May we seek to be like little children, infants who are inquisitive and know no fear or danger, may we trust God as we keep His commands and serve and praise only Him.

Amen
