When Our Needs Become Our Idols
Scripture: Acts 12:20 (CSB)
"Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. Together they presented themselves before him."
Reflection:
When fear, uncertainty, or desperation takes hold, it's easy to place our hope in people who promise solutions. But no earthly leader can provide the security that only God gives. We can care about the issues affecting our lives without allowing those concerns to become greater than our trust in the Lord.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times I have placed my hope in people rather than You. Help me recognize when fear or desperation begins to influence my devotion. Remind me that You are my provider and that my security rests in Your hands. In Jesus' name, amen.
