The one and only

The 12th Sunday after Pentecost

Where are the gods you have made for yourselves? Let’s see if they will come through for you in your time of trouble. ~ Jeremiah 2:28a (CEB)

The Messiah is your only leader. ~ Matthew 23:10b (CEV)
You, Lord, are the only God. You are the only teacher and leader. Sometimes, in my quest for quick resolution of bad situations I mistakenly turn to interlopers. Help me to stay focused on you and the rescue that you provide. In spite of the hype, there is no real hope elsewhere. Amen
CHALLENGING WORDS:
  • interlopers -- people who show up in places or situations where they don't really belong. They are not really qualified or they are fakes.
  • hype -- publicity, promotion -- especially with a lot of enthusiasm
