Bible verse of the day...Isaiah 42:8 (NIV)

"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols." Isaiah 42:8 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

Our God has many names and He can be called Yeshua, YHWH, El Shaddai, Jehovah, El, Elohim, and Adonai (Hebrew names). Our Almighty God wants us to praise Him and does not want to be associated with idols. There are many kinds of idols, it can be a stone or wood carved into something which the people can worship (simply called graven images) and it can also be something that diverts man's attention from God like money, power, etc. Our God is the King of all kings and it is Him alone who is worthy of our worship.
