Worship Worthless Things...

...and one becomes worthless oneself. So says the NLT's translation of 2 Kings 17.15: They rejected his decrees and the covenant he made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshipped worthless things and so became worthless themselves. I like the way the NLT translates this. How true it is that when we commit our hearts to worthless things, we become just like the things themselves.
