"Has anyone ever heard of anything as strange as this? Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols! The heavens are shocked at such a thing and shrink back in horror and dismay," says the Lord. Jeremiah 2: 10,11
Why is it that we abandon the real thing for cheap, imitation substitutes? Why do we grasp for what is really a false veneer over emptiness? What makes it so difficult for us to hold onto, stay with and defend our glorious God? We exchange truth for lies that pose as truth.
From the viewpoint of the heavenlies, it is so strange; it is shocking! It is unfathomable. Oh that we would grasp the heavenly viewpoint. May we not exchange our glorious God for worthless idols, worthless substitutes...poser gods! Don't be fooled into a trade.
For our God is God alone. All glory, all honor and all power is His.
