August 4
Introduction
The LORD God is God alone who is our creator and source of help. Idolatry is ridiculed, and idols made of metal and wood are cited as examples.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 44:1-20
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 44:6
The LORD, who rules and protects Israel, the LORD Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me."
Reflect
What verses speak of God's love? What verses speak of the ways God promises to bless the people? Reread verses 9-20. How is God compared to idols made of metal or wood? How is idolatry ridiculed? According to verse 11, what is the fate of those who worship idols? What might be some examples of the ways people practice idol worship today?
Pray
Holy God, there is no other God but you, and I worship you alone. You are my creator and source of help and strength. Keep me close to you day by day, and I praise your holy name. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 51:1-16: The prophet Isaiah offers words of comfort to Jerusalem.
Scripture
