Read: Deuteronomy 4:32-40

³² Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? ³³ Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? ³⁴ Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

These rhetorical questions are meant to remind God’s people that the LORD is God, that there is no other God but the LORD, and therefore they must be wholly devoted to the LORD their God.  Unfortunately, however, God’s people, then and now, often forget that the LORD is God,  and they often replace the LORD with the gods pagans worship.

With all the stuff people brought home from their Black Friday shopping, I wouldn’t be surprised if all they have in mind are the new  things they possess, and I wouldn’t be surprised if God is not on their minds as they wake up this morning. But since you’re reading this, you are blessed!–you have not forgotten that the LORD is God, not the latest Louis Vuitton bag or the new Rolex Datejust Special Edition.

If you want to know what you worship looks like, just look at the image in your heart.
