TODAY’S THEME: Why fear the empty vessels
Text: Jeremiah 10:5-7
"[5][Their idols] are like pillars of turned work [as upright and stationary and immobile as a palm tree], like scarecrows in a cucumber field; they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it possible for them to do good [and it is not in them].
[6]None at all is like You, O Lord; You are great, and Your name is great in might.
[7]Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For it is fitting to You and Your due! For among all the wise [men or gods] of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You."
SHOWER:
There is a popular saying that an empty vessel makes a loudest 'noise.' You know they are usually thrown away after consuming or utilising their contents. So, in order to be noticed or remain relevant they resolve to making 'noise.' But the question is; what else is their worth other than the noise? Nothing! Idols or idolatry worshipping is equivalent to that. Those who worship them make noise, threatens people and kill. In verse 5 of today's texts, we see that they are nothing, useless and worthless, and shouldn't elicit fear from people of God. God, the creator of universe is the Lord to be feared and respected because there is none like Him (verse 7). Not even your boss in office is worth to make you develop fear.
