God is both ….
• the seen and the unseen…
• the known and the unknown…
• the evident and the hidden…
• the near and the far…
* the present and the absent...
Our refusal to let God BE God leads to the creation of idols unto our own image and likeness! Often ways, thoughts and deeds are NOT God’s. We begin to fashion our idols by…
• our refusal to be nobody compared to God the greatest of all…
• by transforming the God who cares to become our surety in our finger tips…
• by taking him for granted, especially when we do not need him,,,
• by our failure to follow the way of righteousness…
• by holding on to the inconsistencies between my knowing and reality…
• by believing our WRONG FOCUS on God...
LET US DESTROY THE IDOLS WE HAVE FASHIONED UNTO OUR IMGAE AND ALLOW GOD TO BE GOD!
The three young men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, in Daniel 3: 13-20 show us with GREAT COURAGE and FAITH what it means to believe in Yahweh. Before kings and potentates of this world, we have no need to present a defence in whom and what we believe. They invite us to confess, by our lives, words and deeds, that we shall not serve any other gods and we shall not worship gold, power and establishment that have long been our idols all these years…
