Psalm 135 Fools Gold


Psalm 135:15-18
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
Eyes but cannot see,
Nor is there breath in their mouths.
Those who make them will be like them,
And so will all who trust in them.

Idols…..
Anything we look to for Life….
Apart from The True Life Giver.

There is no breath in their mouths.

And so shall it be……..
For any who trust in these lesser things.

We will never find the life we long for……
In these lesser things.

Guys,
Please do not misunderstand……
I am not saying it is wrong to enjoy the gifts.
I am not even saying it is wrong to desire things.

Ah,
But to look to these things……..
These experiences……
Even other relationships…..
For Life……
For Real Life…

It’s fool’s gold.

Jeremiah 2:13
My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken Me, The Spring of Living Water
And
Have dug their own cisterns,
Broken cisterns that cannot hold water.


Let’s turn to The Spring of Living Water….       
          
Great Father, Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus,
Show us where we have settled for lesser things….
Show us where we have believed the lies.
Open our eyes to see….
Real Life…
Your Life.
Breathe Your Breath of Life into our mouths and so….
Revive us.
We ask all this in the
Most Powerful Name of Jesus,
Our Savior and our King.

Amen
