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
______________
Ed. Note:
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.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Thanks be unto God for his amazing gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith
that saves is faith in Him.
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,
for God's wrath remains on him."
John 6:36 NIV
We worship you, Lord,
and we should always pray
whenever we find out
that we have sinned.
Then we won't be swept away
by a raging flood.
You are my hiding place!
You protect me from trouble,
and you put songs in my heart
because you have saved me.
You said to me,
"I will point out the road
that you should follow.
I will be your teacher
and watch over you.
Don't be stupid
like horses and mules
that must be led with ropes
to make them obey."
All kinds of troubles
will strike the wicked,
but your kindness shields those
who trust you, LORD.
And so your good people
should celebrate and shout.
Psalm 32:6-11 CEV
