Leviticus 19:4 (New Living Translation)
Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
Here is another one of those “New Testament style” instructions found in the heart of the Old Testament law.
God gave the people specific instructions about worshiping idols. God gave the people specific instructions about destroying idols. Now, God gives the people instruction about trusting in idols.
- How do you measure trust?
- What indicates that someone is trusting in an idol?
- What do you see or hear that indicates trust?
Trust is in the heart. I can’t see inside another person’s heart. Sometimes I think I can, but sometimes I think lots of foolish things. Perhaps this is a not so subtle hint from God to the people that God can see what is in the heart.
