DCLM Daily Manna 8 July 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Misplaced Trust

TOPIC: Misplaced Trust (DCLM Daily Manna 8 July 2025)

KEY VERSE: “Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives” (Jeremiah 48:46).

TEXT: Jeremiah 35-47 (KJV)

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

According to the Encyclopaedia of Illustrations, India does not have a hunger problem because of a lack of food. The Hindu religion teaches reincarnation in the form of animals. Therefore, it is against religious laws to kill rats, mice, cows, and other animals. Every cow eats enough food to feed seven people, and there are 200 million “sacred cows” in India. If the people of India would just stop feeding these cows, they would have enough to feed 1,400,000,000 people. That is about one-fifth of the entire world’s population.

The people of Moab in our passage today came under God’s judgment because they misplaced their trust. Instead of trusting in the almighty God and walking in His fear, they placed their faith in their idol, Chemosh, and lived a carefree, idolatrous, and immoral life. Chemosh was a national god in Moab and was regarded as the provider of victory in war and protection from enemies. Human sacrifice was part of the rites of Chemosh. The Lord declared that judgement would come upon them and their god. When trouble comes, their god will be unable to deliver them.

Idolatry encompasses so much stupidity. It is foolishness for a man created in God’s image to stoop low to worship a god made of stone, gold, silver, metal, or wood – the work of his own hands. No matter the tales behind these abominations, they have no relevance to the safety and security of humanity. Idolatry entrenches fear and insecurity. It causes premature death and calamities. Whatever we regard and respect more than God becomes an idol. It could be men, materials, sports, music, or money.

We must not misplace our trust. We must understand that just as judgment came upon Moab and all other idolatrous nations who completely disregarded God, His judgment will equally come upon all who have misplaced their trust today. God will not share His glory with anyone or anything. Whatever is exalted above Him will attract His wrath.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In reality, there’s no neutral ground – you are serving either God or a god.
