WORD DIARY: TUESDAY AUGUST 18, 2026

 

#Reject worthless idols!..

Jer. 10:1-2 Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. This is what the Lord says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them.

#Desire God’s ways!

Jer. 10:3-5 For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest,     and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”

#Reject worthless idols!

Jer. 10:6-7 No one is like you, Lord; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.  Who should not fear you, King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise leaders of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

#None like God!

Jer. 10:8-9 They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols.  Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple— all made by skilled workers.

Let us pray: Father God, we worship you and no other in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather worship God?

2. Would you rather worship worthless idols?
