Today's encouragement comes from Micah 4:5, where we read these words:
"For all people walk each in the name of his god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.”Many idolaters worship their gods with more intentionality and devotion, than some of the professed children of light worship the True God. This will never actually be the case for any churchmen who sincerely love God in Jesus Christ. All people are deeply-religious, and are ardently-devoted to their gods. As those who know the One True God, let us give Him as much glory as we possibly can, by grace.
The “rewards” idolaters receive from their gods are lust, greed, selfishness, misery, and death. Regenerate Christians have their entire prize in the Per-son of Jesus; and we are willing to honor God through Him, trusting that all God’s promises are “Yes,” in Christ, (2 Cor. 1:20a).
