Exodus 34.17
“You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.”
Leviticus 19.4
“Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molded gods: I amthe LORDyour God.”
Leviticus 26.1
“You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacredpillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORDyour God.”
Today I will likely have to do with people who worship the idols of this secular and materialistic world. What idols do they serve? How can I guard myself against the temptation of those idols? What can I do to point these people to the one true God?

Leviticus 18.21
“And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fireto Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I amthe LORD.”
Leviticus 20.1-5
1Then the LORDspoke to Moses, saying, 2“Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives anyof his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given someof his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name. 4And if the people of the land should in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives someof his descendants to Molech, and they do not kill him, 5then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit harlotry with Molech.’”
Deuteronomy 18.9-13
9“When you come into the land which the LORDyour God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you anyonewho makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or onewho practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12For all who do these things arean abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORDyour God drives them out from before you. 13You shall be blameless before the LORDyour God.”
Leviticus 19.26-28
26“You shall not eat anythingwith the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying. 27You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard. 28You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I amthe LORD.”
As I think back over the day, have allowed any of the practices or thinking of this unbelieving age shape my outlook or life? Do I need to confess and repent of any sin before the Lord?
