Devotion for Monday, March 11, 2019

“They have hands, but they cannot feel; they have feet, but they cannot
walk; they cannot make a sound with their throat. Those who make them will
become like them, everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord; He
is their help and their shield.” (Psalm 115:7-9)

You will become like the god you
worship. Is this not the promise of Scripture that those who live by faith will
become like Jesus? Come into the promise of the Lord and do not linger at the
feet of the dumb idols that every age worships. We have been called to worship
the One through whom all things have their being. Know that life is found only
in the One who created all life.

Lord, so many things get in the way of worshiping You. We long for the things of this world and seek after vain things. Guide me, O Lord, to know that only in You is there hope and a future. Lead me to see that the world chases after the same gods wrapped in different clothing. Help me to be free of the illusions that obscure my sight that I may walk in the light of Your presence always.

Lord Jesus, You have come that we
may have life and have it abundantly. Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth
which You established from the beginning that I may walk humbly in Your
presence. Lead me, O Lord, that I may follow. You have promised that I will be
like You. Help me through the hindrances with Your salvation which is offered
to me this day. Amen.
