Lift Off! The 10 (2015) - Day 09
Day 09 - Commandment 2
You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6)
Pray that we will not provoke Your jealousy by worshipping You through things seen, felt, or touched.
- That we will not dishonor Your nature as a Spirit being. That we would not put any likeness of who You are into tangible elements. (i.e. materials, grades, accolades)
- That we will not get caught up in the elements of worship at the expense of the Person being worshipped. (i.e. worshipping our success, our hobbies, our relationships)
- That we will worship You in spirit and truth (John 4:24), and “see” You as exalted and, therefore, get caught up in “worth-ship.”
- That we will not place our faith in human reason or things seen, but instead walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
- That we would worship You despite our busy schedules, laziness, and/or lack of focus.
