ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

Exodus 23 talks of God's fatherly warning of not mingling with pagan nations, not taking their gods , idols and thereby losing the "blessing" of GOD --
HE says it will "snare" them and bring much sorrow in their lives -
Today on public tv , they showed Thailand , Bangkok and the people there. Buddhism and Hinduism and the idolatry of many of the people. One big "draw" was the "amulets" for good luck - or for prayers to be answered, they wore them, hung them , touched them , they were everywhere --
The sin of Achan was an example of the curse and penalty of being drawn to this world's treasures , this world's religions --
May we "NEVER" be drawn to or hide within our hearts the "gold" of this world.
Let our eyes be single to the Glory of God thru Christ and see Him as The Treasure to be Desired.
This would be well pleasing to GOD

Dear Passing-thru.
For sure all that glitters is not gold.
It is just like comparing a priceless diamond or pearl necklace to costume jewellery!!
"He is all together lovely"....Love Terry
