You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray led astray to mute idols  (1 Corinthians 12:2).

Mute, as in unable to speak.

But God spoke.

God said, “Let there be…”

And it was so.

In the beginning was the Word, who was with God and who was God.

There is power when the Lord of Everything speaks.

But the idols we follow, they have no words.

No power

They are mute.

Beloved, it may seem that the idols we are drawn to–Money, Power, Pride, Self–have loud voices indeed. It may seem that they call to us with irresistibly persuasive power. But they are puppets. The voice you hear is that of another.

Whose?

Well, Beloved…it ain’t God’s.

Happy Thursday
