“'Remember this, keep it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.
Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’
From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned, that I will do." (Isa 46:8-11 NIV)
False idols are burdensome. They do nothing but add weight to the burden of the animals that carry them and the people that worship them. But, the LORD, our God, carries our weight. He carries our burdens. He bore the weight of our sins on the cross for us. So which is preferable to you to bear the weight and the burden of a false god or have the one true God lift you up and carry you?
There is only one God. No matter what false gods you might choose to worship, it will be God's will that will be done and not ours. It will not be the will of any false gods that we might worship that is done. The truth is false gods have no good will for you or anyone else. They can help no one. They have no power.
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."" (Joshua 24:15)
There is only one God. Worship Him and Him alone!
