“That night the Lord said to him, “Take your father’s bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.””
- God wants us to tear down (remove) anything we have placed in front of Him, and to place Him at the forefront of our lives. It may be that we were not raised to place God first in our life, and we have never experienced a life committed to Him. Whatever the reason we have not, He wants us to change the object of our worship from the things of this world to the Creator of this world. In God, and only God, will we find peace.
