Friday — July 31: Further Thought
Spirit of Prophecy
- “Idolatry at Sinai,” pp. 315–330, in Patriarchs and Prophets
Summary
- God wants your life to encourage other people to know Him and remain faithful to Him.
- Before you speak or act, think about how your choices may affect another person’s faith.
- Sometimes love means giving up something you are free to do so that no one is led away from Christ.
- Idolatry is not only worshiping images because self, comfort, pleasure, and anything loved more than God can become an idol.
- When you love God above everything else, you will seek His glory instead of your own desires.
- Live like Christ every day so your life helps others accept His truth and follow Him.
Question
- How should your love for God affect the way you live?
Answer
- Love God above everything, think about how your choices affect others, and live for His glory.
Reflection
- Do my daily choices help people come closer to Jesus, or do they become a stumbling block to their faith?
Takeaway
- Put God first, love others, and let your life point people to Christ.
