Today is day 277 and we are studying The Second Commandment.

277. Why did the nations make such images?

Israel’s neighbors worshiped and served false gods by means of

idols, believing they could manipulate these counterfeit gods for

their own benefit. (Psalm 115:2–8; Isaiah 44:9–20; Jeremiah 10:2–15;

Habakkuk 2:18–19; Revelation 2:18–29)

We will conclude today by praying the He Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 33-40 found on page 429 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
