1 Kings 12:1-33; Jeremiah 21:1-22:30; Colossians 1:1-20


Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.
Jonah 2:8, NKJV


There are many things in life we cling to without knowing it.
It could be relationships, a vocation, material success—even worthy
desires and dreams. None of these are bad in themselves. But
when we begin to look to something other than God to satisfy us,
that’s when it becomes an idol. God reminds us to cling to Him!
Eventually, all idols fail, bringing disappointment and disillusionment.
But God promises that His grace will be abundantly sufficient
for all we need and only He can provide us with true joy and
satisfaction. Let’s cling to Him today! —Deborah Manera


He is a jealous God and He suffers no rivals.
