LOVE WORTH FINDING 23 JULY 2024 TUESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Who Do You Really Worship?
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.” – Romans 1:20-23
PONDER THIS
All people were made to worship. When we refuse the truth of God, we get a god of our own making: we create idols. The idols of our culture are money, success, health, pleasure, sports, entertainment, and possessions. Anything you fear more, love more, serve more, and value more than God is an idol. Whatever you put in first place in your life is your god.
We worship things we can get from God, the benefits of His creation like health and success, instead of worshiping God alone. Our culture teaches us to be lovers of ourselves—living for self alone. We have me-ology rather than theology. The Bible teaches that we are to worship God, love people, and use things. What we often do instead is worship things, use people, and forget God.
- Based on this definition, what are some possible idols in your life?
- What would it look like to surrender those idols before God?
PRACTICE THIS
Confess to a fellow Christian the idols you struggle with and pray for one another.
