“And
My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images.” Isaiah
42:8 NKJV
On my desk and on the wall above my desk I
have six pictures of my wife from her childhood onward. When I can find two
more small frames just the right size, it will be eight pictures. I love my
wife. I don’t have pictures of beautiful starlets or glamorous singers on or
above my desk. I don’t have a picture of the neighbor lady there either. I took
a vow to cleave only unto my wife and she rather expects that I will honor her
by keeping that vow.
It should not be strange then that our
Savior, who is a jealous God, should desire that we honor Him by keeping or
vows of fidelity. The world did not save us. The entertainment industry did not
die for our sins. The recreation industry did not call us to eternal life. The
commercial industry did not say, “Let not
your hearts be troubled.” Nature did not rise again from the dead for our
justification. Sadly we give them the worship and time that belong to our
Espoused Bridegroom. He calls us to fidelity and not to the worship of the
world’s graven images.
Our
Lord and God, May Your love fill all my vision and desire. Amen.
