Jeremiah 10:5

Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,

their idols cannot speak;

they must be carried

because they cannot walk.

Do not fear them;

they can do no harm

nor can they do any good.”

People expect gods to perform. Gods of our own creation must give us more than we have. Consider if your devotion to money, power, screens, work, substances, or something else competes with your spiritual commitments. Lord have mercy if we worship a broomstick scarecrow!

Consider how your life measures up in light of God’s promises.

“Initial D: The Fool with Two Demons” is credited to the Master of the Ingeborg Psalter. After 1205. “An enthroned man wearing a fool’s cap illustrates the opening verse of Psalm 52-”The fool says in his heart ‘There is no God.’” The scroll he holds proclaims this heresy: Non e[st] Deu[s] (There is no God). Two mischievous demons incite him to this thought, while an angel above attempts to warn the fool against such a notion.” from the Getty Museum Catalog. Public Domain.
