Thursday July 25th
On Thursdays my posts will include verses that stood out in my readings from the Bible during week. One, two, three or maybe more. If you have a verse/verses that you read during the week and would like to share, leave it/them in the comments and I will add it/them to the post. Let’s dig deep in God’s Truth again this year!
The verses that you share are appreciated and so encouraging, I’m thankful for them and for each of you!
Ezekiel 14:1-5
Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me. And the word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. Should I indeed let myself be consulted by them? Therefore speak to them and say to them, Thus says the LORD GOD: Anyone of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and sets the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him as he comes with the multitude of his idols, that I may lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel, who are all estranged from me through their idols.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD GOD: Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn your faces from all your abominations.
A quote to go along with this passage from Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands:
“Idolatry is the silent cancer that weakens the church, robs individuals of their spiritual vitality and leads to all kinds of difficulty in relationships and situations.”
From Vera:
“Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.”
Psalm 28:6-9 ESV
From Dianna:
Romans 12:16 “by being of the same mind toward one another, not being haughty in mind, but associating with the humble. Do not be wise in your own mind.”
From Leonard:
Psalm 60:12
“With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies.”
From Karen:
John 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

I have learned in the past few years that even relationships can be an idol.
Yes, I learned that too!!
