The Ten | Part 2 | Trust God it is always the best option

⁴ “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.  Exodus 20:4-6 (NIV)

When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” Exodus 32:1 (NIV)

Whom do I thank when things go well?

To whom do I look when things go badly?

What is my source of security?

Where do I gain my sense of worth in the world?

What am I striving to achieve in life, and why?

²⁶ Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.  Proverbs 28:26 (NIV)

²¹ Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:21 (NIV)
