Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Isaiah 46 | Part Five28. Sept.1 Std. 37 Min.

<p>Isaiah reminds us that nothing can be compared to God. Our jobs, money, possessions, relationships, and achievements may be good gifts, but they make terrible gods. God alone knows the end from the beginning, and because He has redeemed us for Himself, He alone deserves our complete trust, love, and devotion.Two common places where idolatry takes root are work and relationships. Work and money are means through which we glorify God and receive His provision, not the source of our joy. Likewise, people are instruments God may use to love and care for us, but they cannot bear the weight of being our security or our god.The answer to idolatry is to make God increasingly real to us through the means of grace—prayer, Scripture, communion, and fellowship with His people. As we see more clearly His worth, kindness, promises, and sufficiency, the things we once trusted begin to lose their power over us. Only God can satisfy the deepest longings for which we were made.What stood out to you from this sermon?</p>
