Help With Choosing The Right God

Judges 2:11, 13, 14

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:

And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so they  could not any longer stand before their enemies.


*** After Joshua's death, there were a new generation of the children of Israel,  who turned their back on God and started serving other gods, and bowed unto them. This made God very angry because He said, " Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I am a jealous God.  Thou shall have no other gods before me, according to the Ten Commandments.

It is very, very important that we teach our children the significance of serving God. Telling them about the many blessings He has bestowed upon us. This is training them in the way they should go in the Lord, and when they get older they will not depart from it, according to Proverb 22:6.

In this day and time there are so many things for us to worship aside from God. We must watch and pray in all things and not worship anything that is not of Him as:

Our job and finances are helpful, but giving unto the Lord is a bigger blessing.

Our home can be cozy and lovable, but we must invite God in to dwell with us.

Our vehicles are good for transportation, but we must invite God to drive.

We love our family and friends deeply and this is good, because God said, himself, that He is love.



LET US CHOOSE THIS DAY WHO WE ARE GOING TO SERVE.


Until we meet again - soon.
