Last night we studied about David's wife Michal. I had never thought much about her. But in the study it is brought out that she put a large household idol in the bed and covered it up to fool Saul's soldiers that it was David in bed ill. I was thinking "What were they doing with a household idol in David's house?" I don't know if he knew she had it, but if it was big enough to substitute for a man's body, I think it would be hard to not know it existed. In Jonah 2:8 it says, "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs." That made me start thinking about any old traditions I might have that I need to be sure aren't between me and God.
What "grace" are we missing because we're clinging to old traditions for tradition's sake? I'm just praying today that God will show me anything that I need to get rid of in order to be sure I'm serving only Him.
