So now, revere the LORD. Serve him honestly and faithfully. Put aside the gods that your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt and serve the Lord.
GALATIANS 4:8-9 (CEV)
Before you knew God, you were slaves of gods that are not real. But now you know God, or better still, God knows you. How can you turn back and become the slaves of those weak and pitiful powers?
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Avoid getting tricked into serving the fake gods that are so ubiquitous.
DAILY FODDER
What are the fake gods that lure people today? If they are fakes how are they so powerful?
PRAYER
Liberator God, thank you for freeing me from the fake gods that aren't about my best interests. They are fakes and frauds! Although, I admit that my old attachments to these frauds resurfaces at times. Teach me how to be consistently loyal in my attachment to you. I'm going to serve Christ Jesus alone. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
