The Lord Will

Psalm 115:8

β€œThey that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.”

KJV

Powerless idols and their makers

The psalm exposes the inability of crafted idols and warns that misplaced worship reshapes worshipers.

Read carefully

Reflection

Ask what kind of person your deepest allegiance is forming you to become.
