START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Zephaniah 1:5-6
6 And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him. And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham;
WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST – SWEAR BY THE LORD / ZEPHANIAH 1:5
WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST
This form of idolatry (worshiping false gods or relying on things other than the one true God) is still popular today among those who seek direction for their lives through astrological signs and horoscope reading (Deuteronomy 4:19).
SWEAR BY THE LORD
Many people in Judah were participating in other forms of religion as they pretended to worship the Lord in truth. This hypocritical mixture of “worship” (in theological terms called “syncretism,” which means worshiping one’s own god along with other gods) was a bold evil. The worship of the Ammonite god, Molech, even involved such inhumane rituals as child sacrifice. God will not tolerate those who claim to be His followers, but at the same time worship false “gods” or give anything priority over Him. By God’s standards, such a false and fake lifestyle is sinful and immoral. Judgment awaits all who claim to serve God but fail to avoid the evil and impure practices that are so common in the world.
