It is the nature of man to make gods of what we see. And so GOD said:Â
15“So be very watchful over your souls since you saw no form on the day that Adonai spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 so that you do not act corruptly and make for yourselves a graven image in the likeness of any figure—. . .  Deuteronomy 4. TLV source
So, what are some of the ways you keep watch over your soul that you do not bow to little gods?
Deuteronomy 32:9 But Adonai’s portion is His people— Jacob is the share of His inheritance.
10Â He found him in the wilderness land, in the void of a howling waste. He surrounded him, cared for him, guarded him as the pupil of His eye.
11Â As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, He spreads His wings, catches him, lifts him up on His pinions.
12 Adonai alone guided him—there was no foreign god with him. source
Are you in the void of a howling waste? Then let Him come, care for you, lovingly guard you, be as fiercely protective over you as the pupil of His eye. Let Him spread His wings over you as an eagle does its young. Let Him teach you to fly. Let none of us have foreign gods!
Deuteronomy 7: 8Â but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Â sourceÂ
