“The Lord alone guided him, and there was no foreign god with them.”
Deuteronomy 32:11

What is this boast of the Lord that “the Lord alone” guided Jacob and “there was no strange God among them”?
This boast is the truth that remains elusive to the human race: God does not need the help of foreign deities.

God doesn't need the help of Mammon, Zeus, Aphrodite, Molech, or any other idol to make us happy, healthy, or fulfilled. The Lord boasts about Himself because it is the Truth, which makes us free, and whose rejection makes us slaves. The people of God we're delivered from slavery by the hand of the One True God. Worship of any other god is a return to slavery. Every place you find slavery, you will also find idolatry.

America is full of idolatry. Christians using coping mechanisms instead of leaning into Jesus is idolatry. We are all guilty to one degree or another. Freedom will only return with repentance and pure worship of the One True God.
