Standing in the check out line at the store tonight I was assaulted on every side by trashy newspapers with sordid news of Hollywood. It amazes me that these sell. But it is obvious they do or they would not be there. Our nation has become so frivolous and foolish. We need to get our hearts and minds back on God.
Who are you following?
They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. They imitated the nations around them although the LORD had ordered them, "Do not do as they do," and they did the things the LORD had forbidden them to do. They forsook all the commands of the LORD their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves, and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts, and they worshiped Baal.
2 Kings 17:15,16 NIV

Choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:15 KJV

What we set our eye upon to follow, day by day, we will be transformed into that which we behold. So,
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full on His wonderful face
And the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
In the light of His Glory and Grace.
