Psalm 115, Worthless idols!

Psa 115:1, Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, BUT TO YOUR NAME GIVE GLORY, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. 

Pride seems to show its ugly head from even the best of men! Look what I have, I made this, I’m better than you! Give all the glory to GOD; HE is worthy to be PRAISED!

Pro 16:18, Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 

Dan 4:30-31, The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, THAT I HAVE BUILT for a royal dwelling BY MY MIGHTY POWER and FOR THE HONOR OF MY MAJESTY?” While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

Honor and Glory belongs to the LORD; never take credit for what HE has done in your life!

Psa 115:3-6, But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. THEIR IDOLS ARE SILVER AND GOLD, THE WORK OF MEN’S HANDS. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;

The Idols of men, even though they have eyes, ears, mouths, hands and feet are dead! They are objects with no life, YET people worship them expecting it to hear and respond?

Psa 115:8, THOSE WHO MAKE THEM ARE LIKE THEM; SO IS EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS IN THEM. 

As there is no life in these idols, THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND TRUST IN THEM ARE ALSO DEAD SPIRITUALLY!

Mat 8:22, BUT JESUS SAID TO HIM, “FOLLOW ME, AND LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR OWN DEAD.”

The day is coming WHEN THE LIVING AND THE SPIRITUALLY DEAD will be face to face with the LORD to give an account of their time spent on earth (1Pet 4:5)! WHAT CAN WE SAY, WHAT CAN WE DO; FOR HE KNOWS EVERY WORD AND THOUGHT THAT WE HAD SINCE THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTH!

Psa 115:9, O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. 

Don’t place your faith and trust in idols, but in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! WORSHIP AND FOLLOW HIM WHO GAVE ALL FOR YOU!
