How often do we take an idol into the Temple of God and expect Him to answer our prayers? When we place things in inappropriate places (where only God should be), how long does it take to realize the outcome is solely our own fault? We need to keep the altar of God idol free. It starts with an honest commitment. Not one that will lead to prideful religious practices, but one of accepting truth, and siding with God when we come to our senses.
7 Manasseh even took a carved idol he had made and set it up in God’s Temple, the very place where God had told David and his son Solomon: “My name will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem–the city I have chosen from among all the tribes of Israel. 8 If the Israelites will be careful to obey My commands–all the laws, decrees, and regulations given through Moses–I will not send them into exile from this land that I set aside for your ancestors.” 9 But Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.
2 Chronicles 33:7-9
