Jeremiah 10-12

It took me about 11 minutes to read this passage. What is the value of hand made gods? We know the answer just by thinking about the question; there is no value in gods that we create. Whether they are physical idols, as the people of Judah were guilty of creating, or gods of the 21st century; posessions, wealth, political positions, ideal jobs, families, or a myrid number of other things around which we are tempted to shape our lives. As God told Jeremiah in 10:11 "Those gods that made nothing are nothing. They will come to nothing." If we place our first trust in anything or anyone other than our God and his Christ we likewise our putting our trust in nothing at all. And that is the saddest truth of life.
