Has a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. (Jeremiah 2:5, 11 ESV, 10-24-12)

Giving up the valuable for the worthless

How often do we make that trade? How often do I make that trade?

Giving up on time with God in exchange for worthless ritual. Trading His power for my own. Scheming instead of trusting.

[Father, help me to hold to what (and Who) is truly valuable.]
