Judges 18
Devotional:
“What do you mean, ‘What’s the matter?’” Micah replied. “You’ve taken away all the gods I have made, and my priest, and I have nothing left!” (Judges 18:24)
Judges 18 continues to paint the picture of just how far Israel has strayed from God. Here, the tribe of Dan steals Micah’s idols and lure away his priest (who shouldn’t even have been a priest!). Micah’s response shows how far he is from understanding who God is. A god that we make is not worthy of our worship, and a god who can be stolen is lacking in power. The Bible presents a much different picture of the true God. Our God is the powerful creator who reigns over all that He has made. We did not make God…He made us! We can’t steal God…He reigns over us (see Isaiah 40)! May we worship Him and serve Him day by day so that we do not fall away from Him but instead honor Him throughout our lives.

Pray it:
Father, I praise you for being the creator of all things who reigns supreme over the whole universe. Help me to worship you rather than the things that you or I have created. Amen.
