"You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God. You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. "If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit."
-Leviticus 26: 1-4
Father, thank you for promising to care for us. Thank you for laying out ways to be obedient to you in the Old Testament and then providing the fulfillment of those commands in your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you for coming to Earth as a man to give us an example of how to love and how to lay our lives down for your glory. Thank you for giving us the gift of a Redeemer and Savior. Thank you for loving us that much. Dad, may I remember that love and your faithfulness to me. May I not build up idols in my mind or heart. May I not put things of this world before you in my life. Thank you for the old testament and the reminders to watch out for idols in our lives; may I be searched by you and be made known if there are any idols within me. I pray that you would use my life to glorify you! I pray that my desires would become your desires. Change my heart, O God, and give me the strength to serve you all the days of my life.
In Christ's powerful name, Amen.
