2 Kings 17:15 "...They worshipped worthless idols and became worthless themselves."
The author is recounting the fall of Samria and Israel to the Assyrians. The Israelites had rejected God over and over again, leading to their demise. Because they worshipped worthless idols of wood and stone, they became worthless themselves!
Who and what we worship determines who we become. How I spend my time and my money says a lot about what I value. Who and what am I worshipping? Convenience, luxury, money, power, fame...what have I been worshipping? If I am worshipping worthless things I will become worthless. If I worship Christ, I will become more like him. It's really common sense. The question is, who do I want to become?
Dear Jesus, help me worship you and become more like you. Amen.
