"Those Who Make them Become Like Them"

“Those Who Make Them Become Like Them”

Blessing folk!

Yesterday we saw that the world creates, worships and trusts idols…

Read again and consider the details.

Psalm 115

1
Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
2
Why should the nations say,
“Where, now, is their God?”
3
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
4
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.
5
They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6
They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7
They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8
Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.


Their idols are…

  • silver
  • gold
  • the work of man’s hands

Their idols have…
  • mouths, but cannot speak
  • eyes, but cannot see
  • ears, but cannot hear
  • noses, but cannot smell
  • hands, but cannot feel
  • feet, but cannot walk

The idols appear to be able to give life, yet they are dead.

Those who make the idols become as them.
Those who make the idols trust them.

Think on this.
Meditate upon this.
Seek the Lord.

There is much here for all of us.

It speaks to the overt idolatry of the unbeliever.

I think it also speaks to the idolatry of religion and false religion.

2Ti 3:2-5

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.


Be not such.
