Lifeless idols

[RMathews]

Leviticus 19:4
Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 26:1
You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Psalm 115:4–8
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

1 Corinthians 12:2
You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols

Galatians 4:8–9
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

Galatians 5:19–21
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 10:14
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.”

Revelation 9:20
The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk

1 John 5:21
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your guidance and strength. Your Word in Leviticus 19:4 commands us, "Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal; I am the LORD your God." We acknowledge that You alone are our God, and we desire to keep our hearts pure and free from idolatry.

Lord, Your command in Leviticus 26:1 is clear: "You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves, nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God." Help us to obey this command and to worship You alone.

As Psalm 20:7 reminds us, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." Strengthen our faith so that we may always place our trust in You and not in the things of this world.

We are reminded in Psalm 115:4-8 that idols are "silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths but do not speak; eyes but do not see. They have ears but do not hear; noses but do not smell. They have hands but do not feel; feet but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them." Lord, keep us from becoming like these lifeless idols. Fill us with Your Spirit and guide us in Your truth.

In 1 Corinthians 12:2, we are reminded, "You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols." Thank You, Lord, for delivering us from the bondage of idolatry. Help us to remain steadfast in our faith.

Galatians 4:8-9 warns us, "Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?" Lord, keep us from turning back to the things that once enslaved us. Help us to walk in the freedom that comes from knowing You.

Galatians 5:19-21 lists the works of the flesh, including idolatry, and warns that "those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Lord, cleanse us from all unrighteousness and help us to live by the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 10:14 urges us, "Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry." Give us the wisdom and strength to flee from anything that takes Your place in our hearts.

Revelation 9:20 speaks of those who "did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk." Lord, grant us a heart of repentance and help us to turn away from all forms of idolatry.

Finally, 1 John 5:21 lovingly instructs us, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." Lord, help us to heed this instruction and to keep our hearts devoted to You alone.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
