Friday, May 18 — Psalm 66:16–20
Numbers 7:72–8:4; Mark 12:13–17
They have made themselves gods of gold. Please forgive their sin. Exodus 32:31–32 (NIV)
Gods made with hands are not gods. Acts 19:26
Holy and almighty God, we can make idols out of every good gift you have given. We are rich in your love, yet are distracted by the desire to acquire “more”—more accomplishments, more power, more prestige, more possessions. Free us from the desire for these things, and give us a greater desire to know and worship only you. We pray in the name of Jesus, the faithful one. Amen.
