Know the Real God



If you do not destroy them and their idols (vv. 13-15) … you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.Exodus 34:16, ESV

As God is commanding Israel to take Canaan as its own, He tells them to destroy all the idols and places of worship and then to utterly destroy the people because He is a jealous God. Getting the people’s attention, He uses some harsh words, warning against become a whore by worshiping other gods – as if there were any. This is why it is very important for you to trust, obey, and worship God for who He is, and not for what you want Him to be. Do not be a whore.
