Forty Day 14
Jonah 2:7-8
‘When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
‘Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.
Jeremiah 10:6-9 (MSG)
All this is nothing compared to you, O God. You’re wondrously great, famously great. Who can fail to be impressed by you, King of the nations? It’s your very nature to be worshiped! Look far and wide among the elite of the nations. The best they can come up with is nothing compared to you. Stupidly, they line them up—a lineup of sticks, good for nothing but making smoke. Gilded with silver foil from Tarshish, covered with gold from Uphaz, Hung with violet and purple fabrics— no matter how fancy the sticks, they’re still sticks.
