Title: Let go
Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8
I’m a movie fanatic. One of my favorite series of movies is the Indiana Jones trilogy(not including the recent movie). In the third installment we watch as Indiana Jones and his father chase after the Holy Grail before the Nazi’s can reach it. When Indiana Jones finally reaches the Holy Grail he must race back to his father who lies wounded in order to use the healing power it is said to possess. Of course he passes the test and completes the task, but as he does an earthquake hits and the grail slips to a ledge. His father holds one hand as he reaches out with the other to try and grab the grail. His father calls out to him to let it go, and in so doing he pulls Indy to safety.
What idol is your Father asking you to let go of? They could be sins, but they can also be blessings that He has given you that have now supplanted Him. Let it go. Your Father is still holding on, but he is also calling out to you to let it go.
Real Men reject idols and choose their Father’s love.
